Beautiful hotel set in lovely grounds with ample parking. We had to request to change rooms as our first bedroom in the annex smelt badly from damp. The reception staff were very obliging thankfully and we swapped rooms. Unfortunately our second room had no heating and it was freezing. We managed but explained to a lovely receptionist the situation and she refunded our breakfasts. All dealt with very professionally and we are extremely appreciative.
