charming inn stay
early check-inroom beamslovely staffconfusing signage
i found the staff accommodating, they allowed an early check-in to collect keys before the day began and stored my luggage until the room was prepared. the beams throughout the room were amazing adding character. the team was lovely making it easy to check in and out.
the confusing car park signage led to unexpected overnight parking fees, which i consider an inconvenience.
