lovely room convenient access comfy bed driveway noise fuel tanker loud noise
I appreciated the lovely room with both a bath and a shower. My room, the Tabley room, was on the first floor near the courtyard. The door opened to a space for the dog and access to the car park.
The bedroom faced the driveway and there was a lot of noise. I was woken up early by the fuel tanker refilling next to my room. The noise was loud. I suggest putting ear plugs in the room.
