A Romantic Getaway!

friendly staffamazing foodcute cottagequiet area

The staff displayed friendliness and offered helpful service. The food was AMAZING!!! I recommend trying the burgers. The cottage was so cute and in a quiet area. The location beside the canal was romantic!!!

The walls were thin. I could hear neighbors, and the door closing made the room vibrate. I hope management can improve this slight inconvenience in the future.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. This. the complimentary breakfast included cereal, yogurt, and a bun with jam. i liked that there was plenty of coffee and tea available in the morning.

i booked a room with two queen beds, but only one was properly made. the second bed was a fold-down from the wall, and the duvet had an old blood stain. the mattress was too thin and lumpy, and this gave me a serious back ache.
