Pros:

The room was warm and comfortable. Large bathroom and spotlessly clean. Evening meal and breakfast was excellent. Definitely value for money.

Cons:

The only negative is it’s just getting a bit tired, but certainly a nice place to stay.

Pros:

Wir konnten sofort einchecken, obwohl wir zu früh dort waren und am Abend konnte man immer auch noch in die Bar um etwas zu essen oder zu trinken. Es gab auch ein gemütliches Kaminfeuer!

Cons:

Wir waren für 3 Nächte dort und unser Zimmer wurde nie gesäubert oder kurz gecheckt…

Pros:

The staff where fabulous, so friendly, chatty and kind. The food was exceptional and very reasonable. The location is lovely, beautiful grounds.
We loved the building, traditional but modern and warm, some beautiful features, big windows, fireplaces , panelling. Just full of character.
It's a very old building with tall ceilings, and we think it's been decorated with sympathy. Yes some bits look a little tired but that adds to it's character, for us it was just perfect.
Thank you 😊

Cons:

The pillows were a little lumpy, but that's being picky.
