Charming Stay

cute ownerfriendly ambiancefascinating historytea selection
the owners were very cute and helpful. the pub ambiance was super friendly. the location has its own fascinating history. i found quality throughout my stay.
i only received one tea bag for my entire three-night stay, and when i asked for more, i was given lemon tea. the décor could use some attention. there was nowhere to hang my clothes.
