The cutlery is silver plated as is the milk jug and every item has the hotel emblem engraved on it including the little butter knives. Its a genteel traditional elegant w

Tekla sem torej veinoma

We had heard mixed reviews of the place although the ever reliable Oli had ranted and raved about the place with as much gusto as a young Freddie Mercury in front of a Wembley audience. OK so he wasn't quite so hyped up about the place but he said he really enjoyed it and that we should go. His advice which ranged from obtaining

We checked into a guesthouse which unofficially provides the harde
