fantastic stay!

lovely foodlovely personpoor shower
the lady owner was an absolute star! she heard us at breakfast and was really sorry to hear about something. it wasn't anything major.. but she gave us breakfast on the house. what a diamond, lovely place, lovely food, lovely person!
the shower wasn't great, not much power, and the water was only lukewarm. the radiator in the bathroom didn't work. the towel rail came away from the wall if you put anything on it.
