The King size bed was very comfortable and the other room had 2 single beds in, plus the lounge has a double sofa bed, so you could...

It would have been nice to have a Christmas tree for them so instead we lugged their presents in the car to open in Wells. A very warm little place as heated to max so might be worth mailing ahead to ask for lower settings as it’s hard to control as preset and tiny windows so fresh air is not the...
