the staff were very attentive and friendly i found attention to detail perfect in each area the food was the best i have had in a long while i hope to visit again soon since the current owners are planning great things for an already beautiful house
the menu could use more choices i think also the library needs a sofa like the ones in the bar i wanted to read there but the chairs weren't comfy it would be a superb room with a really comfy sofa to sit on in front of the fire to read a book etc the bed was on the small side
