friendly staffcountry viewsweet moment
I found the staff friendly. their help was constant, a true comfort. the country view at the back added such charm! the owner stopped for a chat. He asked how i was doing, it was a sweet moment.
The grounds felt a little untidy, some rubbish near the kitchen door. The grass needed cutting.
