the breakfast included a good buffet selection with a lovely cooked option. the evening meal menu had a good selection of well-prepared food. the bed was comfortable in the spacious room. we loved the ambience of the place, it took us back to a simpler time.
The floors creaked whenever someone moved on the upper floor. It went on until late and started from 5 o'clock in the morning.
