Lovely place to stay if you like peace and quiet .The halifax has table and chairs and seating cushions and although there is a place in the table for a parasol they don't provide one.At night the path is very dark as the lights were not switched on.Staff are lovely and friendly. Maybe a microwave would be something to add to the pods to make it easier to heat up food.
