“What struck me most was the warmth of the hosts; little seemed too much trouble, and that sets a welcoming tone. I gather it's conveniently located for train travelers, plus getting food delivered looked straightforward. The house itself seems a restful retreat, and the breakfast sounds a proper treat.”
