Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We stayed for a lovely two nights at this property and had an excellent experience. We were greeted after a long travel day with exceptional care. There was plenty of room for four of us to share comfortably. Easily accessible to local shops and dining. Ultimately would recommend for anyone stopping in PE!
