charming stay

comfortable bedgood selectionwindow cobwebs
I stayed for several nights. the room was quite spacious (i had a beautiful king room), and the bed was comfortable. breakfast had a good selection. I liked the full english.
i noticed a few cobwebs near the windows. perhaps a little more attention to detail in cleaning would elevate the experience even further.
