Charming Stay

cosy atmosphereexcellent serviceunique designoutdated decor
The bar had a cosy atmosphere with a toasty log fire lit during breakfast and evening hours. The staff were friendly and professional providing excellent service. The hotel room, Girl, had a unique design and décor giving the space character. The mini fridge in the room was useful for storing milk, water, and dog's chicken.
I noticed water marks on the ceilings and bathroom needing some attention. The decor looked a bit outdated requiring some improvements. I did not see a TV inside the room to provide some entertainment.
