the location is right in the village center with easy parking. the room was fantastic. i also got some proper coffee plus fresh milk, and even gin and tonic in the room!
the bathroom plumbing needed fixing on day one, and the cleanliness there could be better. there was no place at all for hanging clothes. i ended up having to hang my coats in the bathroom, what a disaster!
