My daughter and I recently stayed for 2 nights and from the moment we drove in we were very impressed. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The reception area also had a lovely feel to it. Reception staff were extremely friendly, helpful and professional. The room was great, plenty of space, a nice spacious bathroom and the blockout blinds make the room so dark. The cleanliness of the room was at a high standard. Well done to the housekeeping team, your hard work shows in the rooms. Overall we had an amazing stay here, highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
