warm welcomeexcessively dry chicken
The staff provided a warm welcome and I found the room quite comfortable. It certainly met my basic expectations.
The main course proved to be quite disappointing. The chicken was excessively dry, and honestly, nothing really helped alleviate that dryness. It was a pretty bland experience. I did expect a bit more.

I enjoyed a tasty snack with coffee. The staff were pleasant and cute, offering a dog treat! I found the dinner service reasonably quick, despite it being busy. The atmosphere.
The village itself is quaint. accessible free parking was not available for disabled individuals. I think this is something local authorities could improve.
