lovely sausage knowledgeable host tricky shower fruit alternative
the cooked breakfast was lovely! i especially loved the sausage, it was cooked perfectly. the hosts knew everything about the area and happily answered all my questions..
the shower was a bit tricky, it took me a while to figure it out! also, i would have liked some fresh fruit as an alternative to the cereals..
