Wonderful hotel with superb dining from the in-house chef. Great value for money and all round super retreat. The new owners were very welcoming and friendly.

Very friendly hosts and service.Hotel was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The food was to die for, not eaten so well at a hotel for a long time. Will definitely visit again.
