solid choice for a potter pilgrimage

smooth tv casting comfy pillows
the pool was a definite plus (the hot tub was especially inviting). the breakfast had plenty of options, setting us up well for the day. i appreciated the comfy bed and pillows after long days out. tv casting from my iphone worked smoothly, a great perk.
i did find the lack of a mini-fridge in the room a bit inconvenient. it would have been useful for keeping drinks and snacks cold. a small fridge would significantly improve the room's functionality for longer stays.
Dining

the breakfast selection provided multiple choices including hot and cold items, alongside a variety of juices and coffee, ensuring a satisfying and energetic beginning to the day. the bar staff was attentive and quick when ordering drinks.
