“Evenings here impress, with attentive service accompanying fresh, delicious meals in the drawing room. While some rooms in the Riverside Lodge may need updating, the main house exudes period charm, complemented by the bar and restaurant staff's dedication. I found the grounds, occasionally visited by deer, a particular highlight.”
