excellent guest house stay

garden roomhonest barlimited parking
the garden room provided a comfortable space to relax, and its furnishings were lovely. i also found the honesty bar, stocked well, to be a convenient addition. the well-kept garden was a highlight, offering a pleasant outdoor space.
the limited parking was an issue. it made finding a spot difficult, especially during busy times. also, i would have liked a more extended breakfast time. the one-hour window felt somewhat restrictive.

good breakfastsmall parkingweak shower head
The breakfast was quite good. I guess i can't complain too much about that.
The parking was a real joke. There was hardly any space. also, my window wouldn't lock, so i spent the night wondering if someone would pop in for a visit. the shower head was also pretty weak. It barely drizzled water.
