acceptable stay with some issues
dog urine driveway potholes
the room was clean and spacious, a plus.
I noticed dog urine on the bedroom carpet and it bothered me. the driveway had quite a few potholes. I think it should be fixed considering the price. also, the toilet paper quality was worse than what you find in public restrooms.

Afternoon tea had many items. They tasted sublime and contained a mixture of sweet and savoury. I got takeaway boxes for what I couldn't finish.
I noticed fireplaces exist but they were never lit.
