10/10 Excellent
"If you want to feel like a Duke or Duchess, stay here. The property and grounds are amazing, the room was large with period appropriate furniture and decor. The breakfast was lovely and the hotel is close to other amenities. Quiet property with lovely views from the rooms. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience."
