Beautiful
Pros:

Stayed multiple times and always enjoy it, from the room, the staff, food and the stunning grounds.
We had our room upgraded to an attic room as I didn’t like the small room I had paid for, I didn’t expect that but was completely grateful.

Cons:

N/a

Came for a friends wedding, fell in love with the property and thoroughly enjoyed our time.
Pros:

Gorgeous location with a storied history. Has modern updates to it but the halls still have the old world style to them. Has the quirks of a property that old with the layout that can make finding things an adventure.

Cons:

The maze like layout, some places need more fixing up but it is a volunteer effort to keep up with repairs.
