Fantastic one night stay.
You will not find a better hotel in this area to choose. Each room, corridor, restaurant and conservatory which is often used for breakfast was immaculate. We had a full english breakfast and cereal which was enough food to last all day. Delicious. The gardens were beautiful. Plenty of free parking space and the owner and her staff were very friendly.
