Charming Four-Poster!

I had the most wonderful time in the four-poster bed room. The bed was not just a centerpiece; it added to the entire romantic ambiance with its intricate design and luxurious feel. Waking up in such an exquisite setting was truly magical.

Delicious Breakfast Variety

I was pleased with the breakfast options on offer. The variety was impressive, including fresh fruit, cereals, and a perfectly cooked English breakfast. It was served elegantly, which made the meal feel extra special.

Modern Bath Delight

The bath was a highlight of my stay. It was modern and spacious, perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day. Having the option to unwind in a bathtub instead of just a shower was a luxurious touch.

Great Entertainment Options

I loved the eclectic collection of memorabilia throughout the shared spaces. The room had a good size TV with various channels, and it was a joy to see interesting pieces of music and film history on display while enjoying some downtime.
