Excellent Stay in Scenic Village

lovely location friendly service
I found the hotel location a wonderful surprise. Plenty of places to eat were available during the evening. The staff gave a warm welcome and offered friendly service, I appreciated that.
I noticed a loud droning hum, it came from the kitchen's extractor shaft attached to the outside of our room. I asked if other rooms were available, but that was not possible. I had no option but to accept this under duress rather than ruin our break.
