Excellent stay!

warm welcomegreat foodefficient serviceextractor fan
The staff gave a very warm welcome. The food was great, and they were helpful in finding us a spot when we had not booked. Linda suggested she take our breakfast order the night before (very efficient). The food at breakfast was lovely too.
The extractor fan from the kitchen was near the room. It made a constant background hum. It was reasonably easy to tune out though (after a while).
