a wedding anniversary to remember

private dining delicious meal peaceful stroll
we returned to celebrate our wedding anniversary. it reminded me of a private dining experience because of the time. we enjoyed a meal. we loved the conversation with staff, and the garden stroll was peaceful. it was a nice day. the management was also wonderful, always making sure we felt special.
The wall lights were loose. the shower was not very good, but they said it was a gentle rain shower, i did not like it much. breakfast seemed like a procedure. reception had not booked it for me even though i asked them twice. It was odd.

The staff was efficient and caring in the restaurant. I also found the breakfast amazing (especially the delicious food in the onsite restaurant!).
