Romantic getaway near Dean Village
train station surprise upgrade
The location was convenient, close to Haymarket Train Station. I found the bus links to be very accessible. The proximity to Dean Village made it easy to explore a charming area (it reminded me of a fairy tale!). The staff were lovely and accommodating, especially Fatima, who arranged a surprise upgrade for us.
I found that the wifi access required an extra fee for in-room usage. This detail was inconvenient. I think free access to the internet is essential nowadays for travelers.
