A relaxkng and thoroughly enjoyable break.
Pros:

Such a picturesque setting with beautiful gardens. A sense of luxurious comfort and and attention to detail that is lacking in modern hospitality. Exceptionally tasty food. All of this and we could bring our furry best friend to enjoy it with us too.

Pros:

The hotel runs with the efficiency of a well-oiled machine. The staff are polite and very attentive while the food is to a very high standard overall. Our room was cosy and clean, although the absence of a lift can prove problematic for anyone with a disability.
Well located, the hotel affords easy access to the surrounding area.
Overall, the hotel exudes a homely feel, offering good food, attentive service and comfortable accommodation.
