nice locationbad pillowsuncomfortable pillows
the location was quite nice it offered some pleasant views
the pillows were really bad they were not at all comfortable and made it difficult to get a good night's rest i found them flat and unsupportive making it hard to relax
The room included fresh bed linen and toiletries. The decor had character. The location worked well for my plans. Parking was available and the garden was attractive.
My room did not include enough space for bags. I found it hard to put bags without tripping. The room was also very warm and full of flies, even with fly spray provided.
