10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for three days with our one year old and two year old while getting work done on our house. The beautiful large gardens were great for letting the kids let off steam and run around, and were lit up at night which was great. The labyrinth of room corridors were also the kids favorite to explore. Breakfast was vintage but abundant and the two year old loved the waffle making machine. The whole stay was delightful but very vintage! Windows needed a clean from the outside but apart from that our room was immaculate and very comfortable. I’d happily stay there again. We had fun."
