a romantic getaway fulfilled
courtyard suite sitting room water pressure
Donna was wonderful. She upgraded me to the gardner's cottage suite because i was staying several nights. it featured a cozy sitting room and a lovely bedroom. the large bathtub and separate shower offered excellent water pressure and temperature (what a delight after a long day of travelling!).
i had booked a room in a building separate from the main inn, but it lacked wifi connectivity. i was moved to a smaller room inside the inn.
