A CHARMING Escape!
magnificent gardensattentive stafflong queue
The grounds had magnificent gardens for walks. The staff were very attentive. Dean and Karl were particularly cute at the bar. The bedroom had comfortable amenities like Rituals shower gel. I enjoyed the music in the lobby on Wednesday night.
I experienced a long queue for check in. Spa access was not included, disappointing. The changing room at the swimming pool felt VERY tiny. I found the gym too small, as all equipment was constantly in use.
Rooms

The room included climate control, offering temperature adjustments for personal comfort. A comfortable bed offered good sleep quality. The room provided a view toward a meadow. Cows grazed peacefully.

Decent grounds, underwhelming stay.
thin wallsloud fan
The walls seemed thin. I could hear conversations clearly from the next room. the extractor fan in the bathroom ran constantly. i mentioned it at check-out, but the staff didn't seem concerned, i was offered no compensation or even a sincere apology. the lack of a mini-fridge in the room, surprised me. that amenity felt standard for the price.
