Really good Stay in a Charming Location

perfect room comfy bed daily replenishment fabulous meal
The room was perfect and well equipped. The bed felt big and comfy! Compliments to the maid everyday, because everything was replenished and cleaned. Breakfast and evening meals were fabulous. Sunday roast is a must, I think!
The window only opened a couple of inches. The door to an outdoor area didn't open at all, sad.
Service
10/10
The service was really good to me. Without any hassle we were moved to a room, in a separate building. We questioned our room, because I thought I booked the Millers cottage due to staying with a dog.
