“Comfortable stay in good area”
Spacious, the friendliest staff we've ever come across. You feel welcome and at home the moment you are greeted outside. The most wonderful breakfast - best soft creamy scrambled eggs we've ever tasted! Located in a good area. The house and property is kept meticulously clean. Every nook & cranny simply spotless.
