Fantastic Getaway!

delicious breakfast quirky decor
The breakfast was delicious! I enjoyed the hot cross buns and takeaway coffee. The decor made me smile as soon as I walked in. It is very quirky. There was even a pair of binoculars to use!
The only issue was the lack of plug sockets beside the bed. I had to charge my phone across the room, a bit inconvenient.
