Liz's communication proved really good. i experienced immediate understanding regarding a last-minute cancellation. the breakfast included lovely bacon and perfectly poached eggs, with fantastic coffee. A great start to the day. the location is beautiful, while still maintaining close proximity to nearby towns and attractions.
