Quirky Charm and Culinary Delights

sourdough bread poached eggs shabby chic
Breakfast was a highlight of my stay.. the sourdough bread paired perfectly with avocado and poached eggs. I chose bacon as my side. The hollandaise sauce, with its honey and mustard variations, made each bite really good. The dining room and rooms had a shabby chic style I found appealing.
My room had no blinds on the two skylights above the bed. This made it difficult to sleep well. I left earlier than planned as a result.

a romantic escape

warmth attention room decor
The staff greeted me with really good warmth and attentiveness, ensuring every need was met. i particularly loved the room decor, comforting atmosphere for my stay. It was like entering a dream.
The bathroom had a partition wall that didn't fully enclose the space. This impacted privacy more than i anticipated, a bit uncomfortable .

breakfast included several choices with delicious options, it was such a lovely start to the day, though the kitchen closes early on sundays, which limits dining options at the hotel.
