A great break
A fantastic long weekend here. I received a great welcome as I arrived early and wanted to leave my car to go for a walk. Perfect room, just as described. Breakfast was very tasty, lots of choice and promptly served. I had my two spaniels with me and they were welcomed everywhere - sausages on offer at breakfast and kept them quiet.
A relaxing breakfast
