lovely getaway
good breakfast selection scrumptious breakfast helpful lady cute feel
Breakfast offered a VERY good selection. The full English breakfast was scrumptious and filling. I didn't need another meal until evening. The lady serving was nice and helpful. The building has a beautiful open fire and a VERY cute feel.
The balcony was quite dirty. It seems it had not been cleaned in a while with many cobwebs. One of the bed pillows was stained. The tea and coffee were ok but there was only one milk portion.
