Lovely room and bathroom. Very arty and colourful. A lot of thought had gone into the design. They pay close attention to detail. Breakfast was wonderful both in terms of the range such as individual little omelets and fried quails eggs with a sliver of bacon, 7 or 8 different cheeses and also the quality, including excellent coffee.
