Great return visit
This was our second stay at this hotel. We booked again as we were so impressed with our first stay. They have lovely rooms, good parking and a good selection of food. All staff were pleasant and it was in a great location for the Tank museum which was the reason we stayed here. We will book to stay here again.

Room was clean but very small (barely any room to open suitcase). Right outside the room was a table of diners at the outdoor space of the pub/restaurant. The pub/restaurant had excellent food and drink. It was also within 2 minute walk from the Moreton train station. The Expedia address is not accurate. This hotel is in Moreton.

We stayed here for a weekend, and found the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was fairly newly furnished and very clean. We travelled with our dog, so although he was not allowed in the room (he slept in our car), it helped that the rest of the hotel was very dog friendly. The restaurant meals were good, with a wide choice of dishes on the menu. Only minor quibbles were : shower was in the bath so meant you needed to climb over the side of the bath, and also the bathroom floor was creaky.
