Charming Stay!

helpful staff various drinks
The staff helped me with my luggage. I found coffee bags and various drink options in my room. The car park was large, providing ample parking space for my lorry.
The boiler outside my window switched on and off constantly during the night, it prevented me from getting a restful sleep.
