Absolutely a beautiful property, unfortunately the person on reception was trying to be as unhelpful as she could possibly be. We wanted to purchase some milk: she told use to go to the BP across the road, which we had already been to and they were out of stock which was why we went back to reception, but she wouldn’t allow us to purchase anything at any cost It was just disappointing
