We didn’t actually stay as explained in above sr fences
Pros:

The propert is a beautiful place with pub gardens a restaurant where me and my family had a meal. The food was outstanding but we didn’t actually stay the night in the hotel we left around 10 pm

Cons:

There was a couple in the pub gardens the woman was parametric and the ma. Not much better he made a comment of a sexual nature to me which I didn’t appreciate rather than cause a scene we left as we were in room 3 they were I. Room 5

Best short break ever!
Pros:

The staff were lovely and kept me topped up with fresh milk when I needed it, and made sure there wasn't anything I needed. One lovely girl even ran out with my key when she realised the main part would be shut before I got back when I was going out. The food in the restaurant was excellent in the evening, reasonably priced too. Breakfast was a good variety of hot and cold food and more than enough to set you up for the day. Plenty of vegetarian options too on both menus. I had a lovely quiet room, exactly what I wanted, and a very comfy bed. Also a fan as it was very warm weather.
Sandra made sure I had everything I needed in my room. An altogether lovely few days of peace and quiet, just what I needed. Thankyou.

Cons:

That I couldn't stay longer!
