Relaxing retreat

8.0

The thought for staff to leave lights and heating on for us when we arrived in the dark. Clean room with everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Bed was not what me and my partner are used to for comfort but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The fireplace, spa and a comfortable bed

TV wouldn’t load without internet connection . Probably needs updating like painting and decor.. needs more lighting outside
