a true gem of a stay!

christmas decorations delicious breakfast comfy bedroom
i just loved the christmas decorations! the restaurant dinner was amazing, and the bedroom was super comfy. the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon for breakfast were sensational, the best i have had. the presentation was wonderful!
upon arrival, i felt it would have been a nice gesture to have a bottle of bubbly waiting. a fresh loaf of local bread would be nice too. jam or cake would have elevated my experience more!
