Wonderful Wedding Anniversary Stay

warm conversation delicious meal wonderful staff
we returned to celebrate our wedding anniversary. we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious meal, the warm conversation with the wonderful staff and management. a peaceful stroll through the garden made for a nice day. the staff responded quickly to all our questions and provided the right information at the right time.
the rooms could do with modernising, maybe updating them a little. however, i would still stay again, so i can definitely recommend it. it wasn't a major issue, but noticeable.
