Rooms were balanced in design and lighting, it was a truly lovely space to be in." - "Pool, breakfast" - "Absolutely everything" - "Staff and service was excellent. We got a flat tire one night and they were able to assist us with booking AA the next morning. The property was gorgeous and tucked away in a quiet town. The room was spacious, warm, and clean. We were able to drive to our room to drop off/pick up our heavy luggage. Breakfast was delicious and they served generous portions. We enjoyed our walk around the property and the garden tour."

- "Excellent" - "The trout has recently been refurbished to a high and thoughtful standard. The bedroom was very comfortable and well equipped. Lovely outside space to sit in the Sun and cozy eating areas inside. The staff were extremely helpful. We went off season and it was quiet however there is a large Teepee style wedding venue in the garden so best check if there is a function on." - "Lovely decor and atmosphere." - "Beautiful rooms finished to a very high standard, staff couldn't have been more helpful , great value for money"
