wonderful stay!!!

clean roombeautiful toiletriesperfect breakfastfaulty television

The room was very clean and quite comfortable. i especially loved the beautiful bathroom toiletries from the handmade soap company! the location is also lovely, a real treat after a long drive. breakfast was also a highlight. It was just perfect!!!

The television didn't work in my room, a bit disappointing. i was also woken up at 2 am by noisy people in other rooms. Soundproofing could be better.
