Pros:

The garden is well maintained, rooms are clean, service is excellent, place is beautiful

Cons:

Menu could have more variety, Steak is served with no sauce, eg pepper, garlic, cheese mushroom, etc, and first night I ordered chips, which was proper chips, second night I ordered chips again, I got dry oven fried chips, which doesn't belong in a establishment like that, it's not on.

Nothing - in terms of accommodation our bedding were 2 single beds pushed together which was not so comfortable and the bed was extremely soft… but everything else was exceptional.

Well Situated - thoroughly enjoyable - will recommend.
Pros:

Neat clean and tidy - Friendly Staff.

Cons:

Bathroom well lit but extremely cold, the actual shower was physically cold, Placement of shower head not ideal.
Consider packing in your bathrobes from home - it will make all the difference, especially negotiating the bathroom.
The placement of skylight in the bedroom can be troublesome, for couples looking to sleep a little later. It would be great to have the option to black it out, for late sleeping guests, the natural light during the day is lovely though.
