Really good Stay at Charming Hotel
wide choicequiet roomonsite parkingattentive staff
The breakfast had an wide choice including options for those who don't eat meat. The room was clean stylish and very quiet because it was located in an annex away from the pub. I found handy free onsite parking and a nice restaurant. The staff were very attentive and helpful throughout my stay.
The stairs to my room were quite steep which presented a minor inconvenience. I had to manage but there are other ground floor rooms which might have suited.
