Magical stay in beautiful country home. Baby bed unavailable it seems but we managed with a small bed. The mattress of our bed was a little used but otherwise there was nothing to fault. The gardens were also really wonderful.

We stayed at the hotel as a family of four for one night in May. The service we received was amazing. We arrived really early morning and asked to leave our luggage in storage but instead they offered to quickly set up our room so that we could check in properly and leave everything in the room before venturing out. Once back at the hotel we used the pool and children loved it. It’s warm and clean and they have some swimming aids in the pool area that we could use while there. The beds were super comfortable and bathroom clean. All in all we had an amazing stay! Thank you Chloe and team!
