really good stay!
spacious room quality hand wash homemade bread
The room was a design double room. It was spacious and well-kept. the provided hand wash and shower gel were of high quality. i particularly enjoyed the homemade bread served during breakfast. It was indeed a highlight. they also offered laminated route cards detailing local areas, very useful.
The bathroom mirror had a slight fogging issue. It cleared slowly after showering. this minor inconvenience did not detract significantly from the overall experience!
