Wonderful Getaway

amazing breakfasthelpful staffthin walls
The breakfast was amazing (I particularly loved the variety!), and the staff were helpful. Daisy at reception offered great assistance with our dog. The room was spacious, quiet, and had quality bedding. Cary Park, perfect for dog walks, was just a short stroll away.
The walls seemed a bit thin, so I could sometimes hear noises from the neighboring rooms.
