Getting There
TIP: We do not generally recommend using third-party Hotel Hoppa buses, as they tend to be more expensive and often make multiple stops at other hotels, resulting in longer journey times.

Dining and Amenities
The Junction Restaurant serves classic British dishes and a breakfast buffet. The lounge bar offers snacks and drinks throughout the day. Some Local pubs and restaurants shown here are within walking distance.
