Wonderful Stay in a Charming Village
four poster bed comfy bed free breakfast
I had the pleasure of staying in the Wordsworth Suite. It had a gorgeous four poster bed. I also enjoyed a free standing bath right in the room. The bed was super comfy and very clean.
There was a small hiccup with the plumbing and I did not have the room I originally booked. Another room was available, but I never received the refund as promised.

Breakfast was such a treat , with a variety of options and decent sized portions. On the second day , breakfast was arranged at the cafe across the square. The thick cut bacon stood out to me as a delicious highlight.
