What's nearby

  • #walkingwithdinosaurs - its an incredible show to see. The dinosaurs are very real looking and the narrator takes you on the journey back into time where you feel you are there. (an fantastic learning experience). Worth viewing but it is expensive. Our advice - look out for hot deals. We managed to get half price tickets. I would also recommend for ages 6+ . Found younger children may find it a little scary and it can be loud.

Nice hotel in a convenient location, staff were very nice. Our room was spacious and comfortable, but the soundproofing wasn’t very good. I could hear the lady in the next room speaking quite clearly on her phone and the TV at times. Overall a good stay and would stay again.
