super cute stay!
gorgeous house convenient kettle
the house was gorgeous and the room was beautiful too! the design of the room and the house felt very typical, like a real english home. it included a kettle, tea, milk, and biscuits, so i could make tea anytime.
the bathroom was a bit older and not in top shape. i noticed a clogged drain, so the water didn't go down as quickly as it should.
