Pamper yourself with their carefully selected complimentary toiletries in each bathroom.
The ambience in the hotel is warm and friendly and there is a real feeling of light and spaciousness throughout. With originality and humour as their pervading theme, don’t be surprised to find your feet trampling a grass patterned carpet where life-size cows are grazing!
