ample parking professional staff
I stayed in a twin room! it was spacious! parking was ample too. the staff were professional. I found them the best out of all the places i stayed during my trip.
The timings felt regimented. There seemed to be little flexibility.

mixed experience with some disappointments
small room limited menu
breakfast was excellent. nothing was too much trouble for the owners and staff.
the room felt quite small. the shampoo provided was in an small pot, and only one was available even though the room was for two guests. the menu had limited options and the food was overpriced. i also noticed some road noise.
