“The quietude here is remarkable, particularly given the proximity of other lodgings. I found the generous bath and comfortable bed to be a restful combination, and the birdsong outside lent a peaceful soundtrack to the morning view. A substantial umbrella proved surprisingly useful during a damp walk.”
