My wife and I have stayed here for a number of years for a short break in summer. We keep going back because the dinner is always excellent.

What a delightful dilemma this wonderful hotel has presented me with! As somebody who always uses Tripadvisor before travelling I feel duty bound to share this fabulous place with fellow contributors, but found myself almost hesitating to write this so we could keep this little gem a secret!
