Charming stay by the River

kind staff real mugs rainfall shower breakfast selection
The staff was very kind, made our arrival after a tiring journey smooth. Our room had real mugs for tea, I found this charming. I liked the powerful rainfall shower. The glass door kept the water in. The breakfast menu provided an excellent selection, I found the food fresh and delicious.
My room had a small patio. I noticed anyone could access it from outside. The view of the river was partially obstructed by trees. I wished the parking information had been clearer before arrival. It caused initial confusion.
