Fantastic Stay!

friendly staff amazing food
The staff were friendly and cute! The food in the restaurant was AMAZING!!! I would definitely recommend eating there. We loved it so much that we stayed an extra night.
The private entrance was great, but the placement of the fire escape stairs next to the beer garden introduced smoking smells. It added some noise to our stay.

The room offered lots of space for a family. It was beneficial to have a private entrance outside, which allowed us to leave our boots outside the door after our walks. The room included essential amenities.
