charmed Stay

fine grounds comfortable bed friendly staff
The grounds were really fine with clear and even paths. I could take walks every day. The room was spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. All the staff were friendly and helpful .
The bedside lamp housing became very hot after being used. I almost burnt my hand when I tried to switch it off. This could be a health and safety issue especially for children.
Location
9/10
The hotel grounds are expansive and beautifully maintained. They offer walking paths around a lake and wooded areas, perfect for outdoor activities (i really enjoyed this).
Dining

Breakfast offered a good choice of hot food, locally sourced, I believe. The restaurant menu provided a wide choice. Staff members looked after everything i needed.
