parking disc useful disc fell view lovely view small bathroom tiny bathroom tlc needed tlc
Sophie was cute and helpful. She provided a parking disc for the car, that was VERY useful. The twin room had a lovely view towards the fells. I liked my morning cuppa admiring the landscape.
My room seemed a little tired and in need of some freshening up. The bathroom was particularly small, with the toilet placed close to the sink!
