Charming Hotel with GREAT Food

comfy bed fresh eggs breakfast options
The room was equipped well. I appreciated the comfy bed after a long day of travel. Breakfast was AMAZING!!! It had plenty of options with ultra-fresh eggs sourced directly from the hens outside the breakfast room. I definitely enjoyed observing the hens roaming freely.
The order for a drink took an extended amount of time.

The breakfast room had a lovely view. It was almost worth waking up for.
The room was small, particularly the bathroom. maneuvering was a challenge. I think i spent half my time apologizing to the furniture for bumping into it. the food seemed inconsistent too. Some dishes were fine, others not so much. i wouldn't say it ruined my stay, but it certainly added to the adventure in a way i didn't quite appreciate.
