clean roomcomfortable bedwalk-in showernarrow staircase
the pheasant room was super clean and well-appointed. the proprietor even offered assistance with our bags up the narrow staircase, so thoughtful. the room had tons of storage, a large comfortable bed, and a bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower.
the narrow staircase to our room presented a bit of a challenge with luggage.
