We enjoyed our time here! Nice big garden for our dog! Lovely spa and fire place! Great for cold rainy days! A few suggestions to improve the stay experience is to supply some bath mats and do a maintenance check on globes throughout, but these were minor things that did not stop us from enjoying our time!
