We liked the handy location to the Bush Inn and the parking was great. We also liked the little touches provided such as biscuits as an extra. The shower had great pressure too which was a bonus.We liked the handy location to the Bush Inn and the parking was great. We also liked the little touches provided such as biscuits as an extra.
