We received a very warm welcome from Megan and her team. In the evening we ate in the hotel's restaurant. We chose the lamb shanks (delicious) and the panna cotta dessert. We had a breakfast of croissants, coffee, fruit juice and cooked items from the buffet. Our checkout was friendly and efficient.
