Absolutely Amazing!
Everything was just perfect from the minute we arrived. We were given champagne on arrival, bags beat us to our room from the car. The welcome drink and history of the house was amazing -Chris was fantastic! Food was to die for and our room was just gorgeous. I could not fault anything in our stay and wished it was longer.
