A stay with some issues

friendly staffcomfortable roomgenerous portionone-lane roadfarm equipmentold granule
The staff and locals at the pub were very friendly. The room was comfortable. I found there was lots of choice for pub food and the portion size was generous.
The one-lane roads to get to the location were a challenge. Farm equipment was frequent on the road. The bin in the bedroom could have used a thorough clean. Coffee granules were old and stuck to the jar.
