s-LOVE-nia

Breakfast at Culloden House was exactly how you would imagine it being served hundreds of years ago. We were escorted into the dining parlor and seated with napkins placed in our laps. Fresh tea and coffee were poured to our liking and our orders were taken while a fireplace blazed in the pit and morning newspapers were handed over.
