The location impressed me. It sits in a historic mansion. The gardens feature beautiful scenery, and the rooms provide a clean environment. I found the house lovely overall! I was quickly moved to a new room with a free drinks voucher after a minor issue, i appreciated that. Staff addressed issues promptly and with apologies.

Breakfast options were limited. I noticed a lack of cheese, charcuterie, and rolls, so that was a bit disappointing
