wonderful stay with really good service

The rooms were spacious, especially the one with its own en-suite (a real plus!). access to the rooms included just three steps, surprisingly convenient. we also had a lovely outside patio area connected to both rooms. the breakfast was amazing. I chose a few things and they were all cooked perfectly.
i found the pillows to be a little too thick for my liking.
