Storybook setting…

Beautiful place to stay. Very unique. Styled wonderfully so you feel like you’re in a story. If you struggle with stairs though, I’d consider elsewhere. If you’re good with stairs make sure you check out all the nooks and crannies. Bed very comfy.

Bathroom is at the second floor which is very inconvenient, the toilet is at the first floor and without sink to wash hands, only dry cleaners. This price is way too expensive.
