@kdfrawg The nearest place with shops and restaurants is a few miles, but there’s a hamlet of a few houses and a ruined church nearby.
@kdfrawg Of staying somewhere else? Mainly that I get my own room and somewhere to sit.
@kdfrawg There’s very little within walking distance of the priory, but there are a couple of gîtes in the nearby “village.” There are no restaurants or shops, but I could have my meals at the priory.
@kdfrawg I’m thinking about staying outside rather than in the shared rooms in the priory.
Also, now I’ve just about landed from this year’s travels… I’m starting to make arrangements for next year.
