solid stay, minor issues

spacious layoutseparate showerconvenient accesspeeling plaster
The room was a suite and had a spacious layout. the bathroom featured both a bathtub and a separate shower. its location near the train station made access convenient. A nearby pub provided additional options for dining and entertainment.
i noticed some peeling plaster and bare spots on the table in the room. the table light was missing a bulb, reducing the usable light. these small details detracted from the overall impression.

the garden area was superbly done. the room was nice and neat with nice decor. ample staff were available to support the lodge rooms and the bar. i found my stay was so good.
the car park is also used by pub visitors , so finding a parking space was not always guaranteed.
