historic charm, perfect breakfast

beautiful decorfriendly staffdelicious breakfastdietary requirements
The house has beautiful decor, and the setting reminded me of stepping back in time. my room was a beautiful room. It had everything i needed. the breakfast was the best i have had. The owner welcomed us personally and the staff were friendly.
The charm faded, though. I raised my dietary requirements. the owner met our request with a theatrical sigh. accommodating our needs required too much effort.
