Overnight stay

Lovely one night stay. Unfortunately had a call 10 minutes before we arrived to say the jacuzzi had broken down & would be out of use. We had a 3 coarse meal that was absolutely amazing! Complements to the chef! Only down side - we thought drinks were over priced at £12 for a large glass of wine.
