The Garden room was amazing. I noticed a great attention to detail. Fresh milk was available in the mini fridge. The bed was comfortable. I got a restful night's sleep. Breakfast included fresh local produce (i especially loved bacon) and superb service.

The lighting in the hallway seemed inadequate. The lights activated only when I was close to them.
