Mark and julie greeted me warmly upon arrival. They were attentive throughout my stay. the room offered a beautiful front garden view and the bed was comfortable, especially beneficial given my back issues! i appreciated the cleanliness and tidiness maintained within the hotel.
the absence of a communal lounge was a slight inconvenience. the room i was in felt a bit confined, it could benefit from a bit more space.

the absence of a communal lounge was a bit of a letdown. the room felt rather compact. one of the single beds seemed a tad worn out on one side. i ended up sleeping at the other end to avoid feeling like i might roll off the edge. i mean, seriously?
