Really good stay

cute staff spacious room excellent food
We celebrated a special occasion and enjoyed our stay. The staff were very cute and our room was spacious. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast quality was superb. A decorative plate was brought to our table, it was a nice surprise. The grounds were lovely, i appreciated this.
The bar had a limited selection of drinks and some items were unavailable one evening.
