Really good Stay in a Good Setting

genuine hospitalityfresh juicevaried breakfast
The hosts demonstrated genuine hospitality. They ensured all needs were met with attentiveness. My room included fresh milk and orange juice in the mini-fridge! The large jacuzzi bath provided ultimate relaxation. I found the breakfast menu offered a good variety of choices.
The location is slightly off the main road.
