a charming escape!
charming touch welcome wine fresh fruit porch umbrella
The location was superb. It was a short walk to the calming water and restaurants. my room included thoughtful touches, such as welsh cakes and a lovely bottle of wine upon my arrival. the continental breakfast provided in the room was gorgeous, offering fresh fruit and croissants. i borrowed an umbrella from the porch when it rained. Such a great service!
the wifi signal wasn't very strong, a bit difficult to connect at times.

early accommodation clean rooms thematic appropriateness quirky decor
i appreciated the early accommodation when i arrived before check-in time and received my keys promptly the rooms impressed me with their cleanliness and thematic appropriateness the shower in the angel room featured flashing lights and music creating a wow factor the communal areas decor complemented the house experience. i found i could come and go as i pleased it reminded me of home the quirky decor added to the experience. the continental breakfast and coffee facilities were satisfying.
during my stay, i noticed that the wifi signal was not consistently strong, making it difficult to rely on for continuous connectivity for work or streaming.

the room was themed to henry viii. it had a free standing bath in it. i like the big comfy bed. there was lots of storage so we could unpack.
the yogurts in the fridge had expired two weeks ago. the seat on the toilet pan was loose. i feel like this needs a deep clean.
