A really lovely place to stay.

We stayed in the self catering and it was lovely. Beautifully clean. The meal in the evening was really nice and the staff were extremely professional and so friendly. They all made such a fuss of our dog!

Although our room was newly redecorated and carpeted, the entire room was covered in paint dust. There was still masking tape covering the light rose AND one of the window curtains was hanging off. We had to use a hair clip to close it. While these arent big things they do impact your stay.The food was okay. Frozen chips and frozen peas. The co tine tal breakfast was a bit sparse too. The grounds are very well kept a d beautiful. The staff are all really pleasant and helpful.
