Second time staying within three months and already have another stay booked for later in the year. I adore this place, the staff are really friendly and the rooms are a good size, even the standard double rooms. The only issue I really have is being 6’2 it’s hard for me to have a shower as the shower head is fixed to the wall but the baths are a good size to make up for it.
