The garden and balcony were lovely, it is just a shame the weather was terrible, but it didnât spoil our enjoyment! Thank you a wonderful stay and the treats were a nice touch. The only negative was the smaller of the 2 bedrooms would be better with a single bed as it was really cramped and difficult to move around
