Somewhat on the small side and chaotic weather or not to go in the cabin to handover the car keys or use the machine which was being manned. Not great if you have travelled up from London and pushed for time.

The website was clear and easy to use. Parking fee was competitive. Easy to find the car park and lots of spaces once you got there. Car park was right next to airport, just had to cross the road and you were there. Would highly recommend.
