Il posto, ovvero il villaggio di GWEEK , é tranquillo e molto , e per chi ha bisogno di tranquillità, pur essendo vicino ad impianti attrattive, é l'ideale Ma la cosa che , almeno per me, lo ha reso unico, é stato l'incontro , presso il Pub , sala ristorante dello stesso hotel , con abitanti inglesi del posto( spesso sono Londinesi buche hanno una seconda casa qui, o sono andati via da Londra). Persone con cui poter parlare , scherzare. Persino io ragazzo del pub é stato simpaticissimo, come anche il cuoco , credi anche responsabile. Quest'ultima , una persona interessante per mentalità, esperienze di vita. Io consiglio il BLACK SWAN, poi il fatto di interagire con le persone del posto , o semplicemente con avventori, dipende molto anche da ognuno di voi
