    My husband thought the quality of the breakfast could have been better . But it was big enough.

    The room was clean and tidy everything we needed to make a drink in the morning . The bedroom was warm, and doors opened out so we could get some fresh air.. Staff were friendly, and nothing was too much trouble Would stay here again .

    Needs updating, get a TV and a fan
    • Leisure trip

    • Single Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Rooms are very basic, and mine (room 2) was in need of modernising. Blistering hot day, no air conditioning or even a fan in the room. Only one pillow provided. Window in the bathroom was screwed locked, so that couldn’t be opened. Not even a TV in the room! Extremely noisy neighbouring residents - who obviously had a TV in there room as it was on what seemed like full blast, and you could here every word of their conversation, until the early hours, and then again from about 7am. Can’t comment on the breakfast as I left before service as the room was oppressively hot.

    Location wise, only a short walk from Thorne North railway station, and the motorway network. Large onsite car park, which is free.

    a hand towel in the room would have been nice.

    We are a retired Australian couple on a cycling holiday. On arrival at the property we were warmly welcomed, shown to secure storage and charging facilities for our bikes and then to a comfortable room. we sustained a puncture and the staff were great in providing local knowledge about repairs. couldn’t be happier about the staff cooperation.
