Quiet charm and gourmet delights

quiet setting gourmet chef good choice
the hotel setting was rural and quiet, a lush green hillside could be seen from there. I noticed the restaurant offered a gourmet chef and a delicious five course meal. Breakfast included many good choices . The owners had chickens and white geese that walked around the hotel.
The receptionist seemed less friendly than other staff. I noticed that the room and facilities had a very basic feel.
