Ruth 8.0

Room was very comfortable and nicely, rather plushly, decorated. The host was very friendly, offering us coffee/tea when we arrived and happily advised on the local area, as we sat chatting in the nice sitting room. The location is very convenient for the train station, and is just a few minutes walk from Torre Abbey, which was perfect
