Serene Period Appeal
super clean room period style brass bed friendly staff
The rooms are super clean. They are decorated in a period style with a brass and cast iron bed. A lovely view of the grounds is visible. The whole place has a cute serene period style. I enjoyed delicious full English breakfasts served to our table. They were so much nicer than a serve yourself breakfast. The staff were hardworking, super friendly, and cute. They could not do enough for you.
