Valentines stay
Great stay on valentines 2026. Room was upgraded unexpectedly, which was a bonus. Lovely hotel and fabulous grounds. staff were very helpful.
Only issue is a few of the staff were very young and when ordering our steak one of them failed to ask how we wanted it cooked until prompted and also forgot steak knives. Might have been their first shift. Still very attentive and got it right in the end.
