a charmed find

thoughtful touches special occasion perfect staff
I picked this place to celebrate a special occasion, and it charmed me. the snug room was more spacious than expected. It had many thoughtful touches. dining at the hotel was special, and the staff was perfect. i was so charmed by their offer of takeaway coffees and cake for my trip home.
the only niggle i had was the chairs wasnt very cosy. i really wished for some comfy seating to relax properly after dinner.
