A Balanced Stay

friendly staff tasty breakfast pleasant gentleman small room claustrophobic space incorrect description
The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was hot and tasty. The gentleman who served breakfast was pleasant. I had an evening meal one night, steak night. The food was lovely and well worth the money.
One of the rooms booked as a king size was smaller than expected. It felt a bit claustrophobic and hot. Luckily, a fan was in the room. I spoke to the owner who indicated that it was the correct room despite the description.
