    There were lockers in the rooms (we bring our own locks) and and kitchen is massive. The internet lounge and TV room were very spacious and there were a lot of interesting people staying who were also on Uni break like myself.

    We arrived quite late from a long drive so we had a late check in but the staff was very responsive through emails and very accommodating. Check in for us was easy. However, there was no mentioning of parking. We parked on the parking on the side...
