i returned to find every detail thought through. the homemade cookies on the tea tray were a nice touch. the poached autumn fruits with natural yogurt at breakfast tasted wonderful. locally sourced produce made the cooked breakfast top quality.
the bathroom was rather small, offering limited space to move around (it was a bit tight).
