warm welcomelovely breakfasthouse attentionhigh price
The hosts gave such a lovely warm welcome. I had a tray of tea and biscuits by the fire. The breakfast was fantastic, that I can tell.
The house and rooms do require some attention. The price was the most I paid compared to three other recent stays. It felt a little overpriced.
