excellent breakfast and friendly host!

interesting pieces great location homemade muesli
i found many interesting pieces relating to the family around the home. the host took time showing us around and explaining the history of the cottage. the location was also great, with a awesome breakfast. i particularly enjoyed the homemade muesli and granola!
i noticed no locks on the bedroom doors. the bathroom toilet seat also wasn't properly fitted. every tap or toilet flush set off a loud pump.

This hotel has beautiful grounds. the nearby pub offered authentic indian food, which i found good after a day exploring the countryside. humphrey, the elderly cat, added such a unique charm to my visit. I gave him so many cuddles, and he seemed to adore them.
i noticed a slight musty smell in the attic room, which could be improved with better ventilation.
