An extremely comfortable stay, the bed was one of the best we have ever slept in and the shower was amazing. Appreciated the welcome gestures like being shown to our room where there were some home cooked biscuits. The property is in a great location with an internal garden that was peaceful and well kept.

We stayed 2 nights in a king studio room. The room is spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Clean and well maintained room and good quality furniture, fittings etc. with a calming outlook into a central garden area. Recommendations on their website for local breakfast and dinner options were spot on. Highly recommended as a place to stay.
