Comfortable Stay
generous portions easy access
The breakfasts offered generous portions. They were very delicious and kept us full for a long time. The rooms were clean.. storage space was ample. I found the location excellent. It allowed easy access to both town and nature walks.
Parking arrangements are not ideal. I requested some extra milk. The response indicated a limit of 8 units per day. While I received a jug of milk, I noted a sign in the room that instructed to ask for more milk if needed.
