Amazing hotel, loved our stay there. Friendly staff can't do enough for you. Excellent rooms and facilities and being adults only it was so calm and relaxed. Plenty of room outside and lovely gardens. Food was excellent and lots to choose from each night and at breakfast. Definitely go back if I had the chance.
