We had a lovely weekend escape. Sitting in the hot tub, listening to birds and watching peacocks stroll by was quite the experience. The kitchen had good equipment, but we ended up grabbing a takeaway from the Globe Inn just across the street. Great stay!

The hot tub was checked each morning to ensure it was warm and ready, which we appreciated. The place was spotless everywhere, with plenty of lovely spots to explore and some nice views too. Definitely worth it!
