I attended a wedding reception, I didn't stay as a hotel guest so I can't comment on the rooms or food. But I can say how lovely the gardens, lawn and gazebo areas are. Very pleasant

Super stay. In town for a wedding. Staff covid prep was excellent rooms left empty 24 hours and cleaned so nno worries there. Staff let us into the rooms early so we could get ready. Beautiful patio area. Lovely breakfast lots of choice and cater for gluten free needs. We had a family room two adults and a 12 year old, loads of room and comfy. friendly . Would recommend.
