Cheap accommodation suitable for an overnight stay before heading to Heathrow in the morning. Cabins are warm and have all the essentials but dont count on great water pressure or a properly working wifi. Not sure if its suitable for families though. The walls are incredibly thin and any sound from the outside is heard on the inside. We expected the airplanes but there is a very busy road outside with cars driving all night long. The decked walkway also means that every step sounds and vibrates. If youre a heavy sleeper, thats of course not much of an issue. Unless the couple in the room opposite are getting frisky all night long, grunting, knocking and very loud yes-ing included. They would stop for loud chats and cigarettes outside too. The last time I heard them was 3:30 am. I actually was about to knock on their door during the very loud grunts but they must have heard me unlock my door and stopped then. I must admit, I found this situation hilarious but I had two children with me and the sounds were definitely not very human-sounding and the last thing I wanted to do was explain that to my kids. Fortunately they slept through most of it. I actually think that my daughter woke that couple up for another round when she fell off her bed with the mattress and banged her face on another bed. It was 3 am. The spare bed is just a bit of wood with a thick unsecured mattress on top of it. My daughter must have tossed in her sleep and the mattress simply slid off with her on it. The cabin has very little floor space so she consequently landed with her face agains the corner of the big bed. Fortunately we survived the night, the noisy couple were gone by the time we woke up and my daughter was left with a mark on her face but lived to tell the tale. On the plus side, the parking is convenient and secure and the owner Pam was very friendly and welcoming.
