Great location, lots of nice restaurants nearby. Ideal location for Harry Potter. Rooms, breakfast all as expected for the price and absolutely adequate for what we needed.
Comfortable clean room and facilities with plenty of parking. Good range of four at breakfast and all staff very friendly and helpful. The nearby canal offers a lovely walk and marina area.
Short break as we visited Harry Potter Studios. Hotel close by easy to find. Friendly staff room bigger than expected. Spotless with a comfy bed. Well done to your cleaning staff.
