Everything was excellent - pleasantly surprised. Good sized, well laid out, provisioned room - Every detail was just right: TV was movable as it was not fixed to the wall (great) Desk had its own directable light, The Desk's Chair was good. The Bedside tables are just the right height, the power sockets are in the right place. The Bathroom has a low level, night light for navigation in the dark. The Bathroom is well laid out, fairly spacious, very clean, nice sink and an excellent, large shower. The Receptionist was wonderful (happy, polite, helpful) They provided me with complimentary toothpaste and brush ! There is a bar and restaurant which is large and nice enough. The help yourself, buffet Breakfast was well laid out with a good variety of options (incl. Gluten free) and started at 06.30 All in all - perfect and excellent !

The room was very comfortable and a good temperature - and it had a good sized desk, which was vital for me. Although the hotel was very near the A12 and I had a room facing the road, the bedroom was reasonably quiet and the traffic little more than a background hum. It certainly didn't keep me awake. The eating facilities at the hotel were better than expected. Despite the evening food menu not looking terribly promising, the food was actually good and at a reasonable price. I very much enjoyed everything I ordered there, and the portion sizes were more than adequate. The Shell garage next door was an added bonus, stocking lots of extra food items if you needed them.

For a Holiday Inn Express this is great, second time we've stayed here, does exactly what we need it to... somewhere to sleep that was comfy and clean), showers are great, nice and big so I could easily shower our young kids as well, and breakfast in the morning with a great selection! If you want to spend more time in the hotel you may want to look elsewhere but when we go away we don't really spend any time in the hotel room so we don't need a massive room or a luxurious bath. Main this for us is comfort, cleanliness and breakfast and this ticks all the boxes. We also had a travel cot this time supplied by Holiday Inn which again was clean and in good working order.

The staff were great. My partner and I got engaged on one of the evenings and on our return we mentioned to the receptionist who congratulated us. When we returned to our room we had a tap at the door, the receptionist had arranged for a bottle of sparkling for my fiancé and I which was a really nice gesture. Will come back again and thanks to the staff who were so helpful on our two day stay. Thanks to the receptionist I think was called Kate but she knows who she is.

The hotel is off a dual carriageway and was easy to find, it’s set back from the road so noise wasn’t an issue. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, the room was laid out as expected, comfortable temperature (this was important because we stayed during a hot week) and it was clean. Also, we appreciated the free WiFi. We had breakfast there, the buffet was well stocked and left us feeling full for morning!
