Cheryl greeted me upon arrival, her warmth a balm to my soul. the food was divine, especially the apple crumble with custard. Each bite was like a sweet caress. the staff kindly served breakfast early, a gesture i found deeply touching. secure bike storage offered peace of mind.
The light in the room was quite dim in the evenings. Reading required a bit of extra effort.

The breakfast was good. The bedroom was fantastic, and the mattress provided a comfortable night's sleep.
The curtains did not block out the light well.

the staff was helpful and pleasant. parking was easy with plenty of spaces.
The room was not great. It had stains on the blanket. i found food wrappers behind the bedside table. Talk about a snack attack from previous guests. also, a shelf we used as a wardrobe fell right off the wall. The manager was already gone for the day and, surprisingly, it wasn't fixed .
