Really good Boutique Stay

helpful staff decorated room generous breakfast
I found the staff kind and helpful. The room was wonderfully decorated with thoughtful touches. A fridge provided milk and chilled bottled sparkling water. I also saw fruit and biscuits with a selection of teas. Breakfast was generous, and I was encouraged to pack leftovers for lunch.
My bed was a bit low. It proved somewhat inconvenient for my back, though this was a minor issue overall.
