Overpriced

It was very over priced. The room was small, the carpet was stained, the shower was like warm and the breakfast not good - poached eggs on avocado were undercooked.

The property is lovely and in a beautiful location. The staff are excellent and very friendly. Sadly, the room was very dusty and the underside of the non-slip shower mat had black mould/mildew. The restaurant looked beautiful but unfortunately the chef used so much salt the food was inedible. Even the breakfast was smothered in rocks of salt. The staff told me that it was 2 different chefs but clearly they were trained in the same way. None of our party could eat their dinner and we couldn't cope with the breakfast either.

We enjoyed our stay here in a lovely area, countryside views and peaceful. We stayed 3 nights and the menu was small and unchanged. Small tweeks to the special. Booked a room with the terrace which was lovely as we had excellent weather. Generally the room was well designed, like 2 comfy chairs not 1 as is often the case. Bathroom looked smart but usual no place to put wash bags, no towel rail so wet towels on back of door hooks ...not thought through. Staff were great, friendly and helpful.

Fabulous location

Lovely location, great service with happy and helpful staff. Food a bit on the expensive side and limited dinner menu, breakfast was really good. Room ok but the showroom was extremely cold. Everything you needed in the room and fresh milk for drinks. Big plus was a served at the table breakfast and not a buffet.
