a perfect little getaway!

friendly staff amazing breakfast
the staff was so friendly and helpful. they greeted us with smiles, and nothing was too much trouble! the breakfast was amazing, and the evening meals were of amazing value for the money. i'll definitely be returning!!!
the squeaky bathroom floor was a bit of a nuisance, especially at night. the door lock could use some attention, as it felt a bit loose, but it was manageable.
