Perfect rural B&B stay
amazing viewprivate gardenfantastic choiceceiling spiderwebs
I really enjoyed the amazing view from my room. It was so relaxing to sit in the private little garden. I saw hares racing and foxes playing. Breakfast had a fantastic choice with generous portions.
I did notice some spiderwebs on the ceilings. A little dusting would really improve the room. I think there were some crumbs on the chairs near the porch doors.

The room offered modern fixtures and a well-designed space. The breakfast was great (especially the fruit plate!).
Upon returning in the evening, an unpleasant smell permeated the accommodation. It resembled bad drains, and I got a headache.
