What a find! We were so impressed with everything we found that we stayed an extra night. The food is exceptional- the dinner was outstanding and even the breakfast is a feast. The staff make an effort to provide a warm and helpful atmosphere. The rooms are luxurious with carefully chosen extras. The Courtyard garden is full of box hedges and bulbs. A joy!

Disappointed with this venue after reading so many good reviews. Overall it looks dated and rather tired but the setting is beautiful and the staff were very pleasant. The food was very good and we enjoyed the tastes and textures the chef put together

I have eaten in Michelin starred restaurants but this was as good as these. Room was impeccable and staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Every possible detail had been considered, from the umbrella hanging outside the room, to the pre dinner nibbles.
