However, the award-winning restaurant and its dedication to culinary excellence stand out, and the personalized service seems committed to accommodating individual guest needs.”

alfie welcomed me warmly and was friendly. the room was large with shabby chic decor (i found it pretty). breakfast offered a very good selection for everyone to chose from.

the carpets looked very old and stained. i think they should consider deep cleaning, or even replacing them, to improve the overall appearance.
