superb breakfast nice staff wonderful inn flashing light poor curtain small pillow
The breakfast was superb, i must say. the staff were nice, happy and chatty, too. the inn itself looks wonderful. It has such a lovely appearance.
A light was going on and off outside the room, sadly. the curtains did not shut this out. It impacted sleep. i think more than two small pillows would have been good...
