Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located in a beautiful countryside area with fabulous gardens. The rooms are cozy and offer a lovely sunset view over the fields, but some minor maintenance issues were noticed in the 'Bluebell' house. The service was friendly and accommodating, although the staff seemed a bit understaffed at times. Dining in the grand restaurant provided beautiful views, but some servings were not as expected. A variety of facilities are available to enhance the stay.
This hotel truly offers a beautiful escape with its stunning views and well-appointed rooms. The service, though friendly, could be more attentive due to limited staff availability. The location in the countryside is idyllic, but the dining experience may fall short on some aspects. Overall, a charming stay with room for improvement.
