charming stay at a good inn

picturesque locationoutdoor areaconstant noise
I adored the picturesque location near the river and the outdoor eating area. the breakfast selection was very excellent. the morning service was friendly. The staff greeted me warmly. the bed was probably the most comfortable i ever slept in.
the room was very small. a constant noise from the leaking toilet disturbed my sleep. the radiators were rusty and could use some tlc.

much fatstale bread
The lunch I had wasn't good. The Stilton mushrooms had too much oil, I can't taste Stilton. A stale bread came with my husband's salmon. The beef I ordered was hard and red. I could not cut it and there was much fat. The gravy had no taste and the young girl served very slow.
