Thoughtful owners gave a quick and efficient tour of the facilities, and made themselves available to provide breakfast in the morning. Modern facilities, especially bathroom very nice.

"Fantastic country house, staff cannot do enough for you and the location and grounds are so good. It is blessed with 3 wonderful restaurants. We will definitely return "
