We had a lovely room overlooking the marshes. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. There were toiletries for our use and great towels. We had evening meal downstairs and it was excellent. Breakfast had a lot of choices and the staff were very attentive. Booking out was easy and the staff made us feel very welcome. Will definitely stay again.
I loved the window seat.
