Convenient Stay Near the Airport

rural viewquiet roomunderfloor heating
The hotel has a good location, and a short bus ride gets you to the airport. I had a lovely rural view from my room, surprisingly quiet. Everything in the room worked as expected, and I liked the shower room's underfloor heating. The bed was super clean and cozy.
I noticed a slight cigarette smoke smell.
Facilities

The room included two beds. A bus stop is nearby. A bus takes you directly to the airport. The ride takes less than ten minutes and costs approximately 3 pounds.
