Charming hotel and grounds, really friendly and accommodating staff, and exceptionally dog-friendly. The harness/lead sets in the room were both a surprise and a delight. We didn't get to try the spa this time, however other guests mentioned the spa(s) were really good too. Quite a bit of work being done in the grounds, but all looks like additional development/features, but in Feb, so not a problem at all. We'll definitely be back.

We clambered up to our room only to find that another family were already staying in that room! We then had to clamber back down all the stairs to be allocated a room a couple of doors away from the original room - up all the stairs again. Total shambles
