Our 1st stop on our road trip.

This is an older property but has everything you need. We chose this property as it had an open air, secure car park. This was very helpful since we were driving a high roof campervan. The staff are the stars of the property and are so welcoming & accommodating. Rooms were well appointed, conformable and clean.
