Ideal stayover
Pros:

Clean, comfortable room & air-conditioning was extremely useful given the hot weather. Quirky decorations in corridors & bedroom - nice.
Free & ample parking.
Beautiful hanging baskets in the pretty garden despite no rain for weeks 😊

Cons:

The cooked breakfast was ok just not the best. Some of it overcooked & mushrooms had gone cold.
