Would definitely recommend and hope to return again!
Pros:

The room was lovely, the staff really helpful and we loved the remote feel while only being six mins drive from the town centre.the grounds and views were amazing and we loved our time there.

Cons:

It would be amazing if it had a small restaurant for evening meal options for those not wishing to drive into town after a day’s excursion (or perhaps a microwave available?). Also a small room safe would be fabulous.

Pros:

Everything about the place was exactly what you need for a comfortable, quiet, clean night stay. Breakfast was plentiful with good variety. It’s 2km outside of town, which is perfect for peace and quiet. Would be difficult if you didn’t have a car.

Cons:

Price was a bit steep. Nothing wrong with the property or room, just expensive.
