Location

the hotel is near bus stops that service routes into the city. a garden centre sits around the corner and features an indoor area that resembles a magical winter wonderland. i found this proximity most advantageous.
Rooms

Excellent Visit

spacious family roomunique layoutawesome breakfastfreshly cooked breakfast
The family room was spacious and had a unique layout. This arrangement allowed us to separate siblings while still staying together. The included breakfast was fantastic. It was freshly cooked and just what we needed before heading home.
The car park requires careful navigation due to its proximity to a busy intersection.
