totally awesome room!

clean room coffee convenience shower power
this room was super clean plus comfortable. i especially liked the tea & coffee they had, so convenient! the shower had amazing power, felt so good. a fan was there, this was a lifesaver during this warmer day.
the pub was closed, so no food or drinks right there. it also means no reception, but all worked out with a coded box.

a lovely getaway

quality towels nice products free parking
the room was clean. i found good quality towels inside along with nice wash products. parking was free. it was conveniently located opposite the pub, a nice bonus.
the busy road caused the building to shudder when large trucks passed. it was not ideal, especially if you're a light sleeper.
