romantic getaway

fresh ingredients coffee facilities
The breakfast included fresh ingredients and good flavor. i found the staff prompt and helpful. They responded quickly to requests. tea and coffee making facilities were in the room. Home made biscuits were also available.
the room felt a little small. minimal storage space was present which proved challenging for a longer stay. only an office desk with drawers and a small wardrobe were available.

A Decent Place to Stay

gluten free options lovely accommodation tiny bathroom double bed
The food was amazing, and they had gluten-free options! I highly recommend this place to anyone. The accommodation was also lovely, such a bonus!
The room seemed off, it had a double bed when I asked for a twin! They fixed it by pulling the bed apart a tiny bit. The bathroom was also tiny, disappointing.
