Charming Stay with Garden Views

attentive staffbeautiful walksexcellent winestuffy room
The staff were attentive to details without being intrusive, I appreciated that. The gardens offered beautiful walks. I enjoyed the taster menu and the excellent wine pairings greatly. I found the food seasonal and well-matched with the wines.
The room was stuffy because the window did not open sufficiently, difficult to get fresh air.

Breakfast included many options. I appreciated the fresh fruit (though I'm not a huge fan of melon).
The minibar prices were excessive. I paid £52 for two glasses of champagne. they automatically added a £20 gratuity. I prefer deciding on the tip amount myself (the woman at checkout was not friendly).

The staff provided a great welcome and a short tour upon arrival. Food was excellent. The building has excellent history. The grounds were very excellent too.
The room felt stuffy as the window did not open. Towels stayed damp throughout my stay. The room felt overpriced. The breakfast also felt overpriced, I have had better elsewhere for significantly less.
