Excellent Stay, Kind Staff and Delicious Food

beautiful room delicious food kind staff
I stayed for two nights while attending a nearby funeral. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The food was delicious, included local ingredients, and portions were generous. Desserts had superb flavour, creativity and presentation.
The drinks were a bit expensive.
