restful surroundsexcellent breakfast
Breakfast was excellent! It includes something for all tastes. Beautiful restful surrounds existed and I was like I was in the country despite a central location.
The solar supported hot water system just wasn't working. I did not enjoy taking a cold shower after a long drive.
