The FHR booking system and communications were very good. Proximity to the airport was as expected. The price was good too but the car park was not great. Spaces are smallish, signposting is not great - we drove down a row into a dead end and had to reverse back, signposting for pedestrians was poor, lighting was not great and we arrived back to rain at nighttime and had to contend with lots of puddles across the uneven car park surface.

Car Park was easy to find and enter however ANPR didn't recognise the car when trying to exit. Difficult to read the instructions of how to contact reception in the dark but finally managed it and there was no problem after. Perhaps better lighting might help. Regardless of this small delay would use again but wouldn't have liked to make the walk in the rain!!!

No trouble with parking the car once the actual car park was located. In the early hours signposting of the Short Stay 3 car park left much to be desired. Once found entry and exit was easy and straghtforward. FHR had done their part of the work well.

I have used mid stay 2 and 3 before as the Car Park(s) are just a short walk from the Main terminal building so negates any need to get a bus when arriving back late in the evening. The booking and access was good with no issues. Looses a star for the size of marked spaces. They were designed for cars of 10 years ago and so are barely big enough for a Quahqai / Golf / Focus. With the significant number of SUV type vehicles the spaces are too small and you need to be very careful getting in/out of your car. All cases and people need to get out before parking. It looses another star die to lack of monitoring where people are parking. Maybe due to the space size issue an Audi Q5 was parked ad hoc on the end of a row, opposite a Range Rover similarly parked outside of a bay on end of row. The problem being these two cars now protruded into the access route to the exit so making it a very tight 180 turn. At the very least the parking spaces on the end of rows should be more clearly marked or as with many other car parks hash lines added to show that parking should not take place there.
