We had breakfast & it was simply delicious. Portions were generous, coffee was superb. The venue is beautiful & the atmosphere is so welcoming. Our waiter Angus was a delight to deal with & we never felt rushed , nothing was too much. We then went & shopped in the amazing clothes section & all in all 100% ❤️ we’re coming back & we now have found a little bit of Paris ! Thank you also to Pauline & John Olivia & Catherine
