Kim
Be pleasantly surprised by this charming Hilton village cottage, close to all amenities but tucked away from the bustle of city life. An easy, secure lock up and go for those wanting to explore the beautiful Midlands or a quiet place to stop over if you're needing a good night's sleep to break up travels.
I love meeting new people and ensuring people feel well looked after an spoilt. I am a teacher in PMB with 2 kids, hubby ad 3 fur babies. We are a friendly bunch
The best restaurants are a quick walk or drive away. Coffeeberry pancakes, Garlington pizzas or the Train Station milkhates are our firm favourites. We love an afternoon stroll to the park or forests close by. So much on poffer for those who like activity but also a peaceful area if you just need the rest.
