“What struck me most was the genuine warmth emanating from the staff; their helpfulness felt truly personal, and the food, particularly the venison, was notably well-prepared. The rooms were spacious and kept to a high standard of cleanliness, making for a comfortable and quiet retreat after exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside. It's a place that makes you feel genuinely welcomed, even with a dog in tow, and the location is quite advantageous for accessing local walks.”
