Getting ready for holiday is one of the most exciting things in our lives whether it's booking the hotel, researching where you're going to eat or simply packing your bags and picturing yourself wondering around in shorts.
Whilst many do their research about their accommodation abroad, not many tend to do it when it comes to where they're staying the night before with many people opting to stay close by the airport in a bid to avoid traffic in the morning.
And whilst some people don't mind the drive in the morning, others prefer to have it as easy as possible - especially when travelling with little ones.

We arrived and we went downstairs for food not long after the kitchen stopped serving food and they stayed open for us which was incredibly nice of them. Staff were all friendly and the room was great. Had a good night's sleep and bed was comfy."

Review: "We had this hotel picked for us due to the location. We had an early flight out and you can't beat the location. It is right across the street from the terminal. The room was comfortable. Bed nice, shower had good temperature and water pressure. You do have to search for the second towel (but it is there). The included breakfast was good. Nice selection and good temperature. Tasty too. All-in-all this was a good choice, very convenient, and we would stay there again."
Abbotsinch, Paisley PA3 2TE Scotland
