A beautiful property that is clearly under going renovation and refresh. Furniture and fittings in the room are showing signs of age, general cleanliness was good however the bathroom could do with a good clean paying attention to the grouted areas and shower screen which need a good scrub to remove built up dirt and grime.

Mixed feelings
The room was neat and clean and the bed was really comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. The grounds were lovely and very peaceful. Unfortunately the refrigerator was extremely small, and could barely hold a small amount of food and drinks. The bathroom was very disappointing - the toilet wouldn't flush properly, the cold water tap in the bath/shower wouldn't work, and it was difficult to turn the water on in the shower without the bath tap running at the same time.

I stayed in one of the newer renovated rooms. It was very clean and comfortable. Loved the rainfall shower. My only issue is that I wish there was sheer blinds or tinted windows as you can see right into people’s rooms when the blinds are up (majority of rooms are on ground level).

The location is very good, near to everything, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was of good size and bed was very comfortable. The room was clean and tidy. The bathroom needs an uplift and there is enough space to make the shower standalone and modern. The buffet breakfast options were very poor and minimal especially compared to last time we stayed here and for that reason we will not be coming back again.
