We were received very well, feeling welcomed from the moment we entered at the front door. We were allocated to a big size room so our dog could be comfortable with us. Parking was easy; despite restricted spaces at the property, there was parking across the street, so technically we could see our car from there. The room was cozy and clean. The breakfast room and options were fantastic. We will be back!
