All in all, a very pleasant stay.
Pros:

All very good. Minor niggle about breakfast (see next question).

Cons:

Just a minor niggle that the poached eggs at breakfast were overcooked. The yolks were solid. We invited 7 of our family who live locally to join us, and several had teh poached eggs, which were all the same. :-)
