charming stay in the heart of nature

fabulous food friendly staff comfortable room
i found the location beautiful, in touch with nature. breakfast featured ponies strolling past the windows (i mean, how cute is that?). the food was fabulous and the staff were friendly. the room was comfortable, a great spot to unwind.
the bathroom lacked shelves, a slight inconvenience. it made organizing toiletries a bit difficult.

The food was really good (the lamb was fantastic).
My room overlooked the kitchen area. Staff started cleaning very early. The noise was disruptive. The room could use some soundproofing.
