excellent breakfast and convenient location

clean roomtasty breakfastsmall room
lynn and scott greeted me warmly. my room was clean and had all i needed for my short stay. breakfast the following morning was freshly cooked and very tasty (especially the full english). i had a very enjoyable stay overall.
my room, though adequate, was somewhat small. the toilet and shower room felt a bit cramped too. this could be an issue for longer stays or those who prefer more spacious accommodations.
