Nice country house stop over
Pros:

I loved the historic hotel and the surrounding properties. The food was very good and very reasonably priced and the wine which is their own wine was delicious.

Cons:

I am not a fan of cool white bulbs, it gives a very cold atmosphere. We travelled in winter and it was pretty cold and the restaurant was not very warm. A lovely fireplace would be a great addition and create an inviting atmosphere.

Pros:

Comfortable and spacious room, pleasant garden, good to have on-site restaurant for basic meals Someone kindly washed my very muddy car :).

Cons:

Old buildings so locks and doors are a bit low and fiddly, no "proper" coffee in the room, restaurant and breakfast could do with some fresher and healthier/more interesting options.

Superb
Pros:

The staff was very friendly when I checked in and showed me all the facilities in the room as well as where I can park safely and how the remote for the gate works. Breakfast was delicious and they bake their own bread. The room was very neat and tidy and the bed were very comfortable. The welcome chocolates on the bed was very delicious and looks homemade. I would surely stay here again. Thanks for everything.

Cons:

I cannot complain about anything.

Een goede plek om te overnachten.
Pros:

Het was een prima verblijf. Het dinner was goed en het ontbijt meer dan goed. Veel verse broodjes zelf gemaakt. Veel fruit en meer dan genoeg keus. Vriendelijke personeel

Cons:

De cottage was wat donker wel genoeg lampen en ook schoon.
Het was jammer dat er bij het dinner en ontbijt geen kachel aan was daardoor erg koud binnen. Buiten 8 gr.
