Absolutely beautiful hotel in such gorgeous surroundings. From the drive up to the car park, the walk through the walled gardens to the elegant reception hall everything blew us away. Then we got to the room and once again our expectations were met and exceeded. What a beautiful room we had (304). Sumptuous bedding on what could only be described as huge and lovely decor throughout. All staff were amazingly attentive and enthusiastic. Beautiful food on the brassiere and then had some time in the wine cellar bar. Breakfast was the finishing touch to the night away and again was incredibly delicious.
