The house was lovely as was the gardens. As we stayed 6 nights we were upgraded to the room with the 4 poster bed. Which was lovely. Te breakfast was freshly made every morning from local sourced producers. The hosts, Lee and Lyn were very friendly and welcoming. The only thing I could find fault with was the shower. The hot water took ages to come through and was not powerful enough. Otherwise a lovely place to stay.

We stayed just one night, but wish we had time to stay longer. Check in was a breeze and the staff were lovely! They were super friendly and welcoming. We received a great recommendation for a dinner place from them. We also enjoyed the decor and the feel of the hotel. It is definitely unique and beautiful. Also, breakfast was FANTASTIC! We would love to stay here again.
