Wonderful Stay at a Beautiful Manor

genuine smileimmaculate manormodern showerstifling hot bedroom
The aroma at the reception was amazing.. plus, I was welcomed with a genuine smile. The manor was immaculate, from the reception area to our spacious room. Our bathroom had a modern shower and soft bath towels.
Our bedroom was stifling hot. Though there was air conditioning, it was too noisy to keep on overnight. the view from our window overlooked the roof and an air conditioning unit, not very appealing.
