We stopped here to break a long car journey. Moments after arrival, our child was exploring the grounds, playing with acorns and discovering novelties in the gardens. We walked to the cafe and pottery nearby for cake, and enjoyed a lovely dinner in the hotel restaurant. Service at dinner was attentive and considerate, and again at breakfast, including for a small child who isn't always quite so well-behaved as the parents might like. There were beautiful views from our spacious room and from the restaurant, and on the whole it feels pleasantly removed and peaceful. We hope to return.
