Great Accommodation!
The Toy Room was all we could have asked for. It was very roomy with lots of different spaces to relax. It was fully stocked in the kitchen and bathroom and was very clean. The fresh flowers, cake and milk were a nice welcoming touch. We slept soundly in the comfortable bed. The central location (which was easy to find based on the good instructions) was close to our family and made getting out and about so easy. Our seven day stay went by so fast! We would highly recommend the Toy Room to future guests!
