clean room comfortable atmosphere amazing jacuzzi lovely garden
The room was clean and well-presented. I enjoyed the amazing jacuzzi bath and the generously sized shower. The kitchen included everything needed for cooking meals, even more than I expected. The lovely garden offered a peaceful view to.
The hall entry showed some wear, with minor stains and a damaged radiator guard. A small detail in an otherwise flawless stay.
