Fantastic Stay!

bedside table reading lamp helpful staff cooked option

The room included two bedside tables and reading lamps. The staff were friendly and helpful . The breakfast featured fresh fruit and various cooked options. Parking was easy, and there were plenty of spaces available.

The carrots served with dinner were hard. It seemed like they had been microwaved but not for long enough.

comfortable bed delicious breakfast filling breakfast early bar weak pressure water flow

the room was lovely, a superior double room it was. the bed was VERY comfortable, i slept so soundly each night. breakfast was a dream, so delicious and filling.

the bar closed quite early, it did. i found that a little disappointing, I did. the shower pressure was a little weak, too, i would have preferred stronger water flow.
