excellent stay, nice details

building exteriorcoffee selectionfresh mealcold dribble
i IMMEDIATELY liked the building's exterior. The room included tea, coffee, biscuits, a kettle, cutlery, and wine glasses. Breakfast featured a proper freshly prepared meal with unlimited freshly made coffee and toasts. i really enjoyed the location!
The shower i used had some issues. Despite following the instructions it only produced a cold dribble. it needs some improvements. i hope they fix it.
