The tea and coffee facilities were lovely and the room was gorgeous! Sarah kept in contact throughout our stay and recommended places to eat. It was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay, we loved it. Although there was no staff around the system that is in place works seamlessly. The gorgeous bathroom was an added bonus. Lots of little details and touches that made our stay.
