fantastic inn stay
warm welcomecomfy bedpublic carpark
i had a warm welcome upon arrival. the comfy beds were much needed after walking. the room had a fan, and this helped cool the space since the window was screwed shut.
i noticed there was no car park. finding spaces in the public car parks was difficult. it cost nearly £20 extra for overnight parking.
