Really good Stay with Thoughtful Touches
elegant houseeasy parkingwarm welcome
The house is elegant and beautifully furnished with fantastic artwork. Parking was easy, and a warm welcome greeted us. Fresh milk was provided in the room for tea and coffee (I really appreciated that). The weather was foul and we spent a few hours every afternoon slumped on the sofa in front of a roaring log fire with tea and delicious freshly-made cake.
The room was okay but nothing special.

the breakfast met my expectations.
The wi-fi was terribly slow and unreliable. I expected a much faster connection. also, the television remote in my room did not function properly, requiring multiple attempts to change channels. this was particularly frustrating .
