the hotel had a beautiful look and feel. ample parking space allowed peace of mind.
Location
8/10
The hotel is near centre parcs, so it's useful. a dual carriageway nearby requires taxi use for safe travel, something the staff assisted with readily. It's quite close.
Rooms

The room was super clean and comfortable. I slept well. double glazing kept road noise out! that feature helped ensure a peaceful night's sleep, it was very convenient.
