beetroot quinoa missing kettle
Dinner proved a letdown. The vegetarian option featured mostly beetroot with hardly any quinoa. the leek starter was not good either (i expected better). our room lacked a kettle, irritating. the absence of a carpet was good, it's a small thing, but i missed that bit of comfort.
