We stayed in a studio apartment, which was lovely and clean. The carpet was new and clean, as was the bathroom. It was great having a smart TV with Netflix. It is short drive to the town centre, and a short walk to the supermarket.

I would stay here again. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was better than expected. It was spacious and comfortable. I could park for free right outside my room, so loading luggage was a breeze.
