a haven of peace

relaxed host lovely area room space
andy proved a relaxed host. the area felt so lovely and quiet. the room had much space, perfect after long travels. i found the tea room close by quite convenient, and i enjoyed the homemade food (it closed at 8 pm).
The room was not freshly cleaned. I saw some dust. that felt a bit disappointing.
