Really good Hospitality and Beautiful Scenery

warm welcomestress-free staydated furniture
The hosts were really good I received a very warm welcome and felt at home. Breakfast was lovingly prepared and served with care. Tom picked me up from the train station and even dropped me into town .
I found religious signs in the room. The furniture felt dated I think it would be better to modernise it a bit.

mixed feelings about the stay

acceptable breakfastdated furniturereligious signs
the breakfast was acceptable, i suppose.
Honestly, i was a bit put off by the dated furniture. It seemed like stepping back into my grandma's house, minus the cookies of course. Religious signs in the room were also quite odd.
