The bus stopped right outside, it was very convenient for travel. The village pub across the street had beautiful meals, I ate there every night. The room had service everyday, it was lovely.
The parking was a problem when I returned late one night. Cars parked randomly, there was no place for my car. A man shouted at me and said I blocked his wife's car, he was a staff member.
