I just really loved it.

Location is beautiful, unique building, and fantastic big garden down to the river, which is on a scenic bend at this site, quite a panorama left and right. Building is period as of description with its history, and is just uniquely delightful in person, like visiting an historical site , perfectly preserved in character interiorly, furniture etc and oil and watercolour paintings adorning the walls by well regarded relatives (in painting terms, and im sure others!)of the house make for immersive period experience, can't reccomend more. Solid well bred management with homely touch will take care of you like I was. Made a late booking at 1.30am and was offered collection from my location! Service with a smile , eager to make your stay as welcome as possible , and will act on it. Thanks again Mark. Edward.
