We stayed here because my son was competing just round the corner. We booked a 1 bed room and for a mum and son, absolutely perfect. Room was very clean, there were chairs to sit in, beds were very comfy (although the single may be a little soft for an adult). There were also extra blankets in the cupboard which were very much appreciated. Everything we needed for a short trip. I would definately stay here again.
Fiona Bygrave, 4 months agoWe had an excellent stay here last night. We are a family of 5 and the two bdrm unit was just perfect. The relieving manager collected us and dropped us off to airport - what a lovely guy! So friendly and hospitable and really took care of us - thanks so very much 😊 The showers are AWESOME!! excellent pressure and different settings you can use. Beds were comfy and the unit had everything you needed. Also has Netflix and Disney + very good Wi-Fi reception. Great location with airport not far, free shuttle provided, fish n chips & dairy only 3min walk away. This was an excellent stay and we w
