the accommodation was superb with everything i needed. breakfast was great, and the pub food was amazing!!! i loved the selection of beers, ciders, and spirits. free parking was a plus, a pass was provided. the family has run this gem since 1914, and it shows!
the room faced the inner courtyard, so i could only open the windows before 7 am or after 10 pm because of kitchen fumes.
