The room was amazing with the most wonderful view too. A beautiful place. Should consider breakfast as a buffet for cereals and drinks, serve the rest to order if needs be, but not everything, we were missed out but it’s down to staff having too much to remember.

A wonderful stay

We have stayed here many times over the years. The remote old world atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. There is a lovely view and the grounds are well kept. The staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly, the food is excellent. Highly recommended if you need to get away from it all.
