mixed bag experience

alright locationcreaky metal bed
the location was alright, close to some downs i think.
Our room was a real letdown. It was small, barely enough space for a suitcase i swear. the bed had a metal frame, so every time someone moved, it creaked like an old pirate ship. i was woken up at 1 am by some racket downstairs, clanging and crashing, going on until around 2 am.

charming stay at the inn

cute teamquiet roomvaried breakfastmissing amenity
i found the staff very young and cute. they seemed efficient and personable, which i appreciated. i stayed in a quiet room, named 'beanstalk', just as advertised. breakfast was delicious and varied, with plenty of options.
our room lacked a few amenities that were listed in the description. there was no tv. a fridge was not available, neither an iron nor a coffee machine, a shame.
