Beautiful house and treed gardens. Golf course and other sports facilities. Excellent restaurant.

Pros:

A truly wonderful stay!!! The hotel is beautiful, with stunning gardens, a lovely golf course, and excellent food. However, the real highlight was the staff. A special thank you to Kit, Jacqueline, Emily, and Grace for their kindness and warm hospitality ♥️♥️♥️ They made us feel genuinely welcome and turned a great stay into a memorable one. We would happily recommend this hotel and look forward to returning!!!
