“The proximity to the town centre is incredibly convenient, with public parking just a short walk away. My suite was spacious and comfortably accommodated our family, complete with a generous welcome basket of treats that certainly added to the charm. Evenings spent in the rather pretty pub downstairs, enjoying the well-made food, felt like a pleasant extension of the accommodation itself.”
