Pros:

Staff were great, food was incredible and well priced. Room showed lots of damp in walls and a few more bugs than I was prepared for. Overall a good stay but luxury cottage is reaching a bit. Good value for money and great service needs to be said.

Pros:

We had a lovely stay at this B&B last weekend. We enjoyed dinner there after we arrived, which was absolutely lovely, and the breakfast the next morning was delicious! The rooms were very nice, comfortable and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!

Nice country house stop over
Pros:

I loved the historic hotel and the surrounding properties. The food was very good and very reasonably priced and the wine which is their own wine was delicious.

Cons:

I am not a fan of cool white bulbs, it gives a very cold atmosphere. We travelled in winter and it was pretty cold and the restaurant was not very warm. A lovely fireplace would be a great addition and create an inviting atmosphere.
