charming stay in a serene location

tasty buffetplentiful buffetenglish breakfastclothes hanger
i attended a family birthday party, and the function room was perfect. the buffet was tasty and plentiful, so no one went hungry. the english breakfast included was very good (especially the sausages!). i found the staff pleasant and eager to help.
i noted the absence of clothes hangers in the room. this made it difficult to properly store my clothes. i hope they address this minor inconvenience soon.
