attentive landlordspacious roomgenerous servingremote location

The landlord was attentive and made a call to ask about food preferences before arrival. the room had everything i needed and felt spacious. breakfast had a generous serving. It was lovely. i enjoyed a quiet and peaceful night away from the city.

the inn was a bit out of the way, so using the car was always necessary. this required some planning for local excursions.

adequate stay with issues

generous portionsdouble chargepoor pressure

The food was excellent with generous portions. The full english breakfast and steak pie were superb.

I was charged twice for the room. I noticed this upon checking my credit card bill. the owner insisted i pay in person despite a previous charge. the shower's water pressure was quite poor. Rinsing off soap took longer than expected.
