Really happy with our stay, we only stayed one night as part of a long journey but I knew booking a Holiday Inn Express would be worth it. Very reasonably priced, great comfortable room, hot shower and nice breakfast in the morning.

Great location, clean and comfortable
Great stay as usual here. We use this as a stop off point on our way to Cornwall. Great location, plenty of parking, breakfast included. Rooms are a little dated and could do with an upgrade but they are clean and the other factors make up up for this.

Good overnight stopover
Friendly welcome, clean room and ideal for our overnight stopover. Breakfast is buffet style, we went down for breakfast early so no issues with food. Would stay here again.
