a nice anniversary weekend

comfortable bedroomsspecial alereally good supportwarped floor
we hosted a surprise anniversary party here and the venue was superb the function room looked elegant and the bedrooms were very comfortable lisa paul and their son ensured everything ran perfectly they decorated the room obtained a special ale and offered really good support on the night. i found their attention amazing. i'm very grateful.
the bathroom floor was warped , made closing the door difficult the small window in the room made it feel a bit warm i think this could be improved with a small fan in the room for better air circulation it's a minor thing but would make a difference.
