Lovely! Will return!

Liked: The room was very comfortable - I liked that there were two chairs, a fridge, and plenty of room to put things. Both of us slept well, and we liked the shower. Most of all we enjoyed the lovely grounds - we were lucky with a beautifully sunny evening, and had a leisurely drink from the bar, sitting out on the terrace.

Amazing

Liked: The staff were amazing, made our stay feel really special. The food in the restaurant was great at breakfast lunch and dinner, quick service. Came for as part of a proposal and they made the room so amazing for us when we returned and went above and beyond for us the whole trip.
