adequate stay

fine locationparking signagemediocre sandwichwhite loaf
the location is fine and the national trust common land is nearby. there is plenty of parking, and signage for the reception were good.
the sandwich i bought were mediocre. it costs 14.50 pounds for few slices of beef on white bread, that was from fairly standard sliced white loaf. i can't recommend the food on the strength of what i had.
