a woodland dream

really good decor cute lounge huge bathroom plentiful breakfast
the hotel had really good decor. the communal lounge offered a cute atmosphere. the en-suite bathroom was huge.. a pleasant surprise. the room included a plentiful breakfast with a better than normal range of hot drinks.
i noticed a slight issue with a mismatched curtain. the length of the curtains seemed a bit off. the croissants provided were previously frozen. it was a minor detail, but noticeable.
Dining
9/10
the breakfast setup included cheeses and salmon in the fridge. there were also brioches, biscuits, energy bars, and orange juice available. tea, coffee, and cereals completed the breakfast selection.
Location
10/10
the location is surrounded by nature, a few miles from the town center. the house features paintings and objects to admire. i saw squirrels in the garden from my window.
