superb selectioncomfortable bedfresh coffee

The dinner included a superb selection of wines with dinner. The food reached a high standard from the starter to dessert. Rooms included fluffy towels, a very comfortable bed. anything you might need. The excellent choice of cooked breakfast included fresh coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice.

The room had a noise constantly. It came from a ventilation motor, which marred the stay a little.
