"Excellent location, size, clean and comfortable."

9.0

Clan, tidy and plenty of room in the unit. Team were friendly, accommodating and helpful.

Parking wasn’t great, a small car will be fine outside units but our little SUV got blocked in by a van.

"Clean, comfortable and great value."

9.0

The Ashford Motor Lodge was great value for money. Our one bed apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. Loved the air fryer in the kitchen (even if we didn’t use it - great idea). Bed was comfy and they even made up a bed for my daughter in the lounge, rather than leaving her to use the sofa bed (we prefer not to share a room, but could easily have done). Would definitely stay there again.

The room could have done with a blind or some sheers. Being on the upper floor with the walkway right outside and a lot of glass, it was a bit of a goldfish bowl. That said, I’d still very happily stay there again, so not a complaint, more of a suggestion.
