a perfect retreat

warm welcome beautiful decor welcome tray breakfast selection
i received a genuinely warm welcome upon arrival. the decor showed beautiful attention to detail throughout. a lovely welcome tray in my room provided biscuits, sweets, tea, coffee, milk, and sugar. breakfast included a great selection of choices.
the location was a short walk to the town (perhaps a little further than i expected).
