Lovely property--beautiful, traditional, clean throughout. Our room (Daphne) was perfect for our twelve-day stay. While we didn't take every meal there, we had many dinners and breakfasts and each was wonderful. Fresh, locally sourced (their own estate), and deliciously prepared. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Great stay the staff are brilliant
What a great stay! Rooms are well appointed, love the decor. Plenty of in room refreshments to choose from. Good internet, iron etc. Great nights sleep, lovely and quiet. Parking is easy, the bar area is cosy and chilled. Restaurant has good food, evening meal fantastic, lunch (a Guinness burger) was probably the best ive had. The staff really make this place shine, very attentive and helpful. Ill definitely stay again, although this was for business in the area, the stay was actually a treat.

Eclectic but stylish lodgings.
Amazing individual courtyard style rooms close to the pub/restaurant. Shower was broken which was dull but all other aspects made this worth a visit.
