a perfect countryside escape

clean roombig bathpoor pressure
the host allowed me to drop off my bags early since the inn was open. the room was clean and well-appointed. the bathroom had a big bath. the atmosphere in the bar was great, and the food was gorgeous!!!
i would have liked a bit more option than just a full english for breakfast. i also wanted fruit or yoghurt as options. the shower pressure was also very poor.
