local baconhistorical buildingfriendly dogs
The breakfast offered locally sourced bacon and sausage! i found the selection quite amazing. the building itself seemed very special and historical! it was situated in a distinct landscape, which i appreciated. there were animals nearby. I saw friendly dogs, horses, and cows.
the carpet felt a bit coarse to the touch.
