Didn't realise how old this place was having stayed in more of the updated uk Hamptons - maybe Exeter is the closest one iv stayed in to this design.

Anyway it was fine for one night and £77 I paid but struggle to justify paying much more just to keep a gold status when there are other places nearby particularly if I had my wife in tow

Yep you have to arrive before 4pm to almost guarantee a space in the car park, Ive always got lucky so far , I arrived at 6 pm once and got the last space, I’m uncomfortable about leaving my car over by the pub car park too, I’ve not seen or heard of any issues but it’s just a feeling I get.
It’s nothing posh but strangely I quite enjoy my stays here, I seem to sleep well too, perhaps it’s the leffe beer in the weatherspoons that helps.
Thanks for the trip report.
