Delicious Breakfast

I had the most fantastic breakfast during my stay, featuring perfectly cooked pancakes with crispy bacon and maple syrup. It was flavorful and freshly prepared, setting a wonderful tone for the day ahead.

Comfortable Family Room

The family room I stayed in was impressive with two real beds instead of a fold-up. The room was spacious and well-appointed, creating a cozy environment for relaxing after a long day.

Charming Decor

The quaint Tudor decor in my room added a good historic touch to my stay. The old wooden beams and unique layout made it feel special and really enhanced the ambiance.
