Fantastic Stay!

large shower roll top bath big bed prosecco bottle
The room had a complementary bottle of prosecco, a VERY nice touch. The room was large. I had a huge shower and a roll top bath. The bed was big.
The car parking was quite limited, and there was limited road side parking, something to keep in mind.
