“This historic inn struck me as a place where the charm of tradition meets genuine hospitality. The inn's pub, renowned for its food and drinks, seems a vibrant hub, though light sleepers might consider bringing earplugs given the building's character; overall, it appears to be a delightful place with staff that are highly motivated.”

the staff shone brightly, like stars on a summer night. their friendliness reminded me of a warm embrace, very appreciated. breakfast had plenty of options. the bus stop across the road made going places easy.

some stairs were steep. it. the towels felt a little thin. i also noticed some narrow stairs, so i felt uncomfortable to walk on them.
