Enchanting Getaway!!!
luxurious suite roll-top bath convenient shower ample sockets
The luxurious suite featured a huge bed. A roll-top bath invited relaxation, and the walk-in shower offered convenience. Free toiletries added a touch of luxury, and plentiful plug sockets supported all my devices. I found both a coffee machine and a kettle, alongside a selection of teas, coffees, and biscuits.
The room felt smaller. I think it would not be ideal for a longer stay with a dog, it didn't leave much space.
