sweet treats high-quality finishings delicious breakfast

I enjoyed a good stay. A handwritten note with sweet treats greeted me upon arrival, it was a lovely personal touch. The breakfast was so nice. The high-quality finishings in my room created a clean and spacious environment, I appreciated the attention to detail.

The technology had a slight teething issue, I hope they fix it soon.

sweet treats welcome note

i adored the room's immaculate condition. sweet treats and a welcome note created a lovely atmosphere upon arrival. the room also included air conditioning, a welcome amenity during the unusually warm weather..

i noticed the absence of soundproofing. the noise levels felt quite high. this made conversation difficult during peak times.

fantastic stay!

comfy bed air conditioning delicious breakfast

i found the room decor good and the bed was huge and comfy. air conditioning and a fridge were valuable additions, given the warm weather. breakfast was delicious and a great start to the day. fresh milk in the room and sweet treats added a thoughtful touch.

i noticed a limited number of parking spaces available at the rear, only 14, and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, no reservations were allowed, so i had to arrive early.

Dining

The restaurant provided a varied menu with great food quality. the sunday roast included an amazing yorkshire pudding. the availability of vegan custard as a dessert option was nice. The food was amazing!!!
