a good experience

comfortable bedparking spacebreakfast offeringscoffee machine
the room was spacious and featured a comfortable bed ensuring a restful night i found the breakfast offerings comprehensive with various options available. i liked the presence of ample parking space which removed any concerns about vehicle security .
the coffee machine in the room could be upgraded to a model that uses fresh ground coffee instead of pods the taste would be superior. while the existing machine worked well a fresher flavour would be appreciated. this is a minor suggestion and did not significantly affect my overall experience.

i had a very nice stay after attending a friend's wedding reception. the staff was very helpful. the breakfast was amazing!!! the manager was quick to provide a plaster when i cut my finger. the room was lovely and very comfortable, i felt at ease .
i could not locate the bathroom mat right away when i showered. it was hanging on the back of the door. a more visible location would be great.

The staff was friendly. The outdoor pool was a glorious little addition and was perfect during the excellent weather. Every staff member was cute.
The TV was too small in the room. The water pressure was very low during showers. I found this quite inconvenient.
