- Jean (10/5): We really loved the aesthetics of the rooms and the garden and Colleen Penfold is a charming host. - Our upstairs bedroom ensuite was private and the bed was particularly comfortable. I did not comment on "how romantic" the accommodation is, because some rooms had less privacy than we had. Our room was certainly romantic.
We chose not to have breakfast at the Prince Albert Country Stay but only because we had one morning only and a friend was keen for us to have breakfast at a particular restaurant further down the road. I cannot think of anything
