Good Stay, Really good Service!!!

tasty food helpful landlord rescue party cozy room
The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It had very tasty home-cooked food. The landlord was helpful, even volunteering to arrange a rescue party when we had difficulty arriving because of the snow. The room felt cozy, and I especially liked the home-cooked food.
The pub closed relatively early at 9 PM. We were initially unaware of this, which slightly impacted our plans.
