"Lovely Accomodation"

Easy drop off area and park. Clean, functional accommodation. Very comfortable bed. Loved the fragrance of the shampoo, hand lotion and soap dispenser, would love to have an old fashion wrapped biscuit with our coffee/tea facilities. Ample tea, coffee, with UHT milk in the fridge.
