water carafe wooded walk

The dining hall had tables set beautifully. Carafes of water were available. The wooded walks into the nearby area were charming. Buses, a café, a pub, a tourist shop, and bike hire are close by. The location is peaceful. It offered a perfectly dark night for sleep.

Having to book a breakfast sitting felt a bit odd.
