A good experience

Liked:It was all very good, very personal and a good experience. A good choice of food at breakfast and cooked specifically for you, it was a great breakfast. Our room was as expected and we had no complaints, it was comfortable and did what it said on the label. The hosts went out of their way to help arrange transport to restraunts etc, all in all it was a win for us and we'd stay again.

Disliked:I thought it was just a little 'tastfully expensive' for what you got but I knew that when I booked so no complaints.
