I found the interior design to be fine, showcasing a blend of modern and quirky elements. The restaurant and pub garden were gorgeous, providing ample space for relaxation. My room was notably clean and modern, complete with thoughtful amenities. I particularly loved the homemade biscuits and fresh milk in the tiny fridge!!!
The location was close to the motorway, but that's the price you pay for being in deep countryside.
