serene retreat

amazing quietness really good comfort strong pressure complimentary toiletries
i booked a standard double room and it was quiet considering its location near the motorway the room was very clean and the bed provided really good comfort for a restful night. the shower had strong pressure with consistent hot water an important detail for any weary traveler. i found the availability of complimentary toiletries to be very useful specifically the shower gel and shampoo tubes.
the selection of tea bags was quite limited only one was available for two people a small oversight perhaps but worth noting
