"This was in a lovely location and the Manor and grounds are immaculately kept. They have lots of
little touches that make your stay more personal, like jute bags and eye masks in your room, ice creams round the pool area etc. The service is excellent and the staff are lovely and really make your experience here unforgettable. It was a wonderful stay!"
