A Good Getaway

I really enjoyed the annex and its separate entrance at the back. My room was expansive. It included a comfortable sofa and a table with two chairs. I would come back anytime. The breakfast was also really delicious, boasting a great variety of choices.

I noticed the need for updates. The carpet had some numerous stains in the room. I found also poor quality bed bases. I did find it a bit disappointing.
