a sweet escape!

lovely light generous size quiet atmosphere

My room had such lovely light and felt generously sized with convenient phone-charging sockets. i found the heating very easy to adjust. the quiet atmosphere helped ensure a restful night's sleep. It was pure bliss. the hotel's proximity to the a1 motorway also made traveling simpler.

The pillows seemed to retain a faint smell of old sweat. This detracted from the otherwise pristine experience. upon mentioning it, i felt the response was a little dismissive.
