"We stayed for two nights in one of the refurbished Superior Double Garden Rooms."
"The bathroom was renovated: the BEST POWER SHOWER l've had in the 2 weeks of traveling in the UK and a sink with one tap sharing hot and cold - finally!"
"Great breakfast included in our rate was a bonus. I'd definitely stay here again."
