Relaxing Hot Tub Getaway

maintained hot tubcomfortable bedgood pastriesmirror distance
The hot tub was a total highlight. It was well maintained daily. The bed in my room was very comfortable, and i slept really well. The provided breakfast had a good variety of choices (i especially liked the pastries!).
The mirror in the room was a bit too far from a plug socket (i had a little trouble drying my hair).

The hotel provides off-street parking across the road, a real plus. The pub below has a live singer some nights. Breakfast is self-serve style and includes a range of options that i found fresh.

A local shop sits directly across the road. It stocks a large variety of items. I enjoyed a walk round the village to view the quaint little cottages. A stream runs through beside them.
