good room charming staff sparse breakfast gravel path

the room was a good double room, and the shower it were so strong and invigorating. the staff were charming, always offering a smile and gentle words of welcome.

breakfast felt a little sparse, like a forgotten promise. parking required a short walk, and the gravel path made pulling luggage a touch difficult.

A Quiet Stay

beautiful setting comfortable room gravel parking no lift

The setting is beautiful. The drive up was nice and walks around by the house were good. The room was mostly comfortable and the restaurant area felt pleasant.

The car park is a walk from the hotel. Gravel makes pulling a suitcase hard. The rooms are upstairs and there isn't a lift.
