Really pleased with our stay at Staybridge. Had not realised breakfast was included, so that was a bonus! And the breakfast offering was lovely, plenty of it, plenty of choice, well presented.... Staff were all helpful, friendly and efficient, rooms and everywhere spotlessly clean, new towels every day. Facilities? No evening restaurant, ( but thats why they were suites with kitchenettes), swimming pool was merely a plunge pool and right next to the car park! Thanks Staybridge for a great...

The room was lovely, clean and the bed super comfy. Parking was easy and there were shops nearby. Breakfast was lovely and the breakfast staff so helpful and friendly. We had a lovely meal at a local restaurant Oscar’s that was recommended by the man on reception ( sorry didn’t get his name! ) He was very helpful and even rang the restaurant to check that it was open on a Sunday for us. It was well located and an easy drive into Charleston.
