charming inn with a good breakfast basket

helpful staffstocked fridgeexcellent serviceunpredictable water

The staff offered assistance with charging my phone without hesitation. the room included a mini fridge stocked with fresh milk, water, and orange juice! the owner, will, promptly contacted us about a suit left behind and arranged its return. I found that to be excellent service from start to finish.

The shower had unpredictable water temperature. The hot and cold mix changed mid-shower, not ideal!

I noticed the light breakfast offered was not enough. The breakfast hamper included items that felt cheap. Accessing the shower over the jacuzzi bath was unsafe for me. I could also hear quite a bit of road traffic from my room.
