The room was clean with lovely crisp linen and fluffy towels. The bathroom was huge and (should you need one) accessible by wheelchair. The room was in the outside area but still quiet except for the occasional car, but if you park directly outside your room, you won’t get anyone else there! Lovely breakfast included and a great night sleep. Super friendly staff.
