Very convenient and an exceptional venue which is located perfectly for access to the golf course.
Pros:

The food and service was excellent and the breakfast was particularly good. The stable rooms weren't as comfy as the main house, but still pretty good.

Cons:

Stable room not as comfy as the main house.

Breakfast was poor considering the cost.
Pros:

Beautiful grounds and lovely main hotel

Cons:

It was boiling hot with the heating that wouldn’t go down and the only thing on offer in the room was a fan. So it meant I didn’t sleep well the whole night.

Goûter à la vie de château…..
Pros:

il faudrait être très difficile pour ne pas aimer…
Ou ne pas du tout aimer le style manoir anglais…
La modernité y côtoie le classicisme avec bonheur. Les tableaux anciens revisités sont particulièrement délicieux.
J’ai trouvé le breakfast de qualité, il est rare qu’on trouve du vrai beurre, des confitures maison et des fruits épluchés à la main dans des hébergements de cette gamme de prix.
Évidemment, dans le très haut de gamme, on a ça mais c’est pas le même budget!

Cons:

rien

Pros:

Beautiful old building in gorgeous surroundings
