This place was amazing for the price I paid the room was very spacious, clean, there was tea/coffee making facilities bottled water, biscuits a TV with ironing board available, the bathroom was a separate room situated right outside the bedroom door, ( allocated for your room only) again very clean, spacious the key's to enter was by way of a key safe with instructions given on the day of your arrival, from the airport you could either get a taxi, or bus the accommodation is only 4 or 500 mtrs from the bus stop, with a pub, fish&chip shop and convenience store all within the area, I couldn't recommend this enough especially for an early flight ...thank you 5☆ plus from me

"Needs updating and okay for one night."

5.0

The bed was large and comfy and the shower worked. The continental breakfast was good.

It was very tired and shabby with broken lamps. Tatty, dirty carpet that was curled up. A health and safety issue. I waited 45 mins after the check in time (4pm) as it wasn’t ready. The key lock was empty Shame I can’t show you the breakfast. That was nice. The maid tried her best to hurry up, she was lovely.

"So convenient for the airport good room facilities"

7.0

Great contact before our stay and instructions for collecting key & checking in. Great room facilities comfortable bed, great to have complimentary water & nice tea & coffee facilities. Lovely room

The noise from traffic was loud as our room was close to the road old windows failed to keep cold and noise out. On arrival we found the room was very cold but it was January. Car parking spaces were predominently water swamped on the grass following heavy rain. Car park was poorly lit and no hard standing spaces left. We struggled for a long time to get the car out.

"Very Good"

7.0

Very well equipped room, no staff, you just park your car in the driveway and get the key from a safe. They even had UK and EU plug sockets!

Water pressure was really, really poor. And I have lived in a very old house with poor water pressure, this was worse. I ended up unscrewing the showerhead and using the hose so I could get a little bit of water out. The room smelled a bit mouldy, again I have lived in an old English house so not a new smell but unpleasant.

Proximity to the airport. At day time it’s even possible to reach by foot. Typical old English house with very comfortable bed in quiet place. As far as I understood from description, I was lucky to have room with en-suite shower. The hosts were very kind and welcoming, responded quickly and explained everything very clear about how To get to the house late at night. It’s very comfortable also if you travel by car. There’s beautiful garden with plenty car spaces.
