    Stayed here for a friends wedding and it was lovely. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are attentive and I though it was well priced for being a beautiful destination spot. The breakfast was also very good.

    The location and facilities were incredible! We received a warm welcome from the staff. We greatly enjoyed dinner at the garden bar and cafe. We would happily stay here again.
