United KingdomThe altmosphere was similar to being in your own home It was great sitting by the fire after working hard at the cookery school. So relaxed and easygoing and the staff were helpful and very friendly. Tried to make friends with the little black and white cat but like all discerning felines, it might take another visit to bond. Thank you so very much.
