The staff did their best to make our dining experience pleasant as we were the only guests. They lit the fire and gave us some good ideas of places to visit.

Lovely intimate venue and hotel
Pros:

Authentic farmhouse style. Large and well decorated rooms. Great on site parking. Lovely venue for a wedding but a little cold in the barn for an autumn/winter wedding. Very sweet courtyard. Great customer service at the bar and restaurant. Food was nice too. Perfect for an intimate celebration.

Cons:

Quite expensive for a one night stay and it didn't include breakfast. Would have enjoyed a cocktail at the bar but obviously not a deal breaker!
