"It is a truly lovely country house hotel. The views from the garden are beautiful, and the charming old church just across the road makes the setting even more special. The staff are incredibly dedicated to making sure you are comfortable and happy throughout your stay — a big shoutout to the entire team! The restaurant is also excellent, with great food and service. This place will always be very special to us, as I proposed to my girlfriend in their garden with the beautiful view in the background. We highly recommend this establishment and would gladly stay here again!"
