amazing shower comfortable room lovely prosecco early parking

The shower was amazing. The room had everything I needed. The prosecco and chocolates provided for Easter were a lovely touch. Car parking on site was a bonus. I was allowed to park early. Breakfast included perfectly poached eggs.

It took a little time to contact someone on arrival, even during stated check-in time.
