My department hosted an evening seminar at the GL Cottages. We were not taken for granted. The room was neatly set up for the seminar. They served the finger supper on time. It was fresh and scrumptious. Again enough for everyone including vegetarians. They also served a variety of drinks. Thank you, we'll definitely be back.
