charming stay among nature

quiet roomindividual sinkscomfortable bedluxury toiletries
The room was great. It was genuinely quiet. a deep, long bath with individual sinks stood out. i found the large windows and very comfortable bed quite nice. Luxury toiletries added a nice touch! brolly and dressing gowns were lovely too.
the signage made it tricky to find where to check in! though the location was perfect!

a stay with a few bumps

poor signageearly closure
finding reception reminded me of a treasure hunt, a very poorly signed one i might add. and after a long day all i wanted was dinner, but nope, the restaurant closed early. naturally, they didn't bother to tell me this beforehand, so i had to venture out again. the room itself was nothing special, the tv remote looked like it had survived a war.

The setting felt SO tranquil, nestled within expansive grounds. The room included individual sinks and luxury toiletries. Dinner and breakfast were available and the staff were attentive.
The signage on the estate COULD be better, it caused SOME initial confusion.
