lovely inn experience

fresh vegetables accommodating staff
the sunday roast at the inn was fabulous. the roast beef was rare and cooked properly, served with fresh vegetables and plenty of gravy. the staff accommodated our request to park opposite the building.
I noticed some items of rubbish under the bed, including a dirty tissue. i also felt the springs in the mattress.
