Nice Stay at a Charming Inn

attentive staff wide selection cozy atmosphere easy access

I appreciated the attentiveness showed by staff. Their warm greetings and helpful suggestions did enhance my stay. The breakfast menu included a wide selection of options. The log burner opposite where I had breakfast did create a cozy atmosphere. The hotel is easy to find, situated just a short drive from the M6.

The menu for residents on Sunday evening felt limited. I found the selection not as expansive as on other days.
