Superb Hotel Stay!
lovely smile big size
The staff at check-in had a lovely smile and I saw the place looked lovely as soon as I walked in! The room was a lovely big size for three of us. I loved facing my car on the street. That was a bonus! I definitely will book a proper weekend away again soon
I found no basin in the toilet, an inconvenience. I hope this gets fixed soon!
