Absolutely AMAZING stay!

varied selection bright area comfortable seating
I saw a fantastic selection for breakfast! The dining space felt so bright and well decorated. I really liked the comfortable seating in both lounge areas, perfect for an evening relaxation. The bar looked well-stocked too!
My bathroom did have just one small hand towel each day which was slightly inconvenient.
