Stag Park Accommodation
Only one night stay and felt welcoming even with other visitors. Didn’t mind the bathroom sharing. Everyone appeared to respect each others use of the shower and toilet.

Clean and tidy room with lovely balcony to sit on with good outlook. Signage to rooms was abysmal. Getting lost was happening all the time. Terrible.
