Ray was simply an outstanding house - always on hand to make local recommendations and even for a fascinating chat about his life, travels and views of the world but never forcing anything on you - being able to melt into the background if appropriate. The room was spacious and comfortable with nice ensuite and walk-in wardrobe in the lovely tastefully decorated old house in a convenient location. If that's not enough, the highlight has got to be the effort Ray puts into breakfast. We told Ray that one of us was a veggie and neither of us were "big fry-up" people - no problem he said. We were expecting standard continental fare - and yes we did get that but more than that - each day there was a special treat ranging from warm poached pear with coulis to straight-out-of-the-oven scones, muffins and veggie quiche. Oh and don't forget the waffles with maple syrup - outstanding.
