Eccentric and good stay!

pet-friendly room clean room comfortable bed continental breakfast
Our Saloon Room, a pet-friendly option, accommodated our two dogs comfortably. The room was VERY clean and included a comfortable bed. Breakfast was a delicious continental spread I enjoyed in my room, offering plenty of food.
I found climbing the stairs challenging due to the absence of a lift.
