The staff was very friendly, and very helpful. My room had a large bay window with seats. I could sit and take in the wonderful countryside. The bed linen and towels were immaculate. I slept like a log in the comfortable bed.
The shower drain was blocked. This was a minor inconvenience. The room was not overly clean. I noticed there were no spoons for the tea and coffee provided. This attention to detail would have been appreciated.
