a decent stay

comfy beds large kitchen dated room broken blind
i liked the location. it was away from busy roads and crowds. comfy beds were available and there was a fabulous large kitchen.
the room was very dated. curtains did not close properly. the bathroom blind was broken. it didn't fit the window, not ideal because the glass is clear and the shower is opposite.

fab stay near the steam train!

garden views comfy bed large fridge steam train
my room had garden views and a super comfy large bed. the kitchen let me make snacks and cuppas so easy. it was great i could keep food in the large fridge. it's so close to the mini steam train, i walked up the tracks to the station.
my room curtains didn't close and the bathroom blind didn't fit the window good, so i had to use towels.
