great location delicious food friendly staff beautiful grounds
The location, food, and grounds were fantastic. my room was large, and the bathroom featured a free-standing bath plus a walk-in shower. the staff were consistently polite, friendly, and helpful. the grounds are beautiful, even in winter. The hotel provides wellies and umbrellas for walking.
The tables in the restaurant were uncomfortable. They had a large base that interfered with my feet. this sounds minor, but it was very annoying.
