homemade compotequick walksyale key
the location allows for quick walks to shops. homemade rhubarb compote added a lovely touch to breakfast. i enjoyed robes and scented toiletries available in my room, such details enhanced my stay.
my private bathroom required a walk through two doors and along a corridor. the yale key operation late at night risked waking other guests.
