“The rooms, accessed externally like charming cottages, are beautifully appointed and remarkably quiet, creating a sense of privacy. Excellent food, with creative touches for non-meat eaters, complements the warm welcome and attentive service. It's a genuinely relaxing countryside retreat, especially with the thoughtful dog-friendliness and ample parking for exploring the surrounding walks.”
