beautiful forestcosy music
The staff was super nice. i loved the beef stew at dinner. It was delicious and i sat next to a local neighbor. i especially loved the music the young staff had on, it felt cosy. the manor house is set in a beautiful forest on top of a hill with beautiful views.
the parrot cage at the bottom of a dark staircase was a bit of a surprise.

the location is quite beautiful, set within wonderful grounds. both dinner and breakfast tasted really good. i also appreciated the plentiful portions served.
the corridor outside my room had an unpleasant smell and noticeable dust. i found chair clips, bits of paper, and dirt on the bedroom floor. i think the hotel should have designated rooms without dogs.
