wonderful stay

beautiful spotsfriendly gentlemangreat locationweekend attractions
I found some lovely spots near the hotel. the town centre was conveniently close by. I could walk there easily. the gentleman at reception was friendly (he even let my son feed the fish!). the location was great, and we parked the car and didn't need it all weekend because the attractions were nearby.
On arrival, the receptionist asked me to pre-book food choices for the evening meal. It somewhat spoiled the enjoyment of browsing the menu.
