Limited nearby dining spots
Although not the biggest of problems if you have a car, guests do mention that the choice of dining spots in the immediate area is quite limited and consists mainly of fast food outlets.

Hospitality occasionally disappoints
Guest opinion of the hospitality on offer here tends to vary. Some guests found the staff friendly and efficient while others felt the standard of service could be much improved, sometimes describing the staff as little rude. A warm welcome may not necessarily be on the cards.
