    Very well located within a few minutes of the channel tunnel. Most people staying at the hotel appeared to be there for an overnight stop before travelling onward.

    The room was excellent for our overnight stay, a lovely meal before bed and the perfect breakfast to start the day before our trip across the channel by train. A good nights sleep in a comfy bed.
