I needed somewhere to relax after days with the family during a funeral event. The mews room was absolutely perfect, quiet, warm and well appointed.
What a lovely experience! Thank you to Catherine and Stef for your welcome and hospitality during our meal service (the food was delicious and of high standard). This overall experience is something...
A stunning setting! There were ample parking spaces and nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. Our room was in the stable block and was really comfortable. A perfect bed and bedding...
