Simply the Best

We stayed for 3 nights to celebrate my wife’s birthday. From the moment we drove up the driveway until we reluctantly left, we enjoyed every minute. We were warmly welcomed by Debbie who showed us around. Our room was old fashioned elegance with wonderful views over the gardens. The al fresco breakfast was superb as were our evening meals; everything was fresh and delicious. Bertha’s Revenge Gin was beautiful; you must not leave without a bottle (or two). A huge thank you to everyone who made our visit so special, and a special mention to Bernie, who was simply delightful. We can’t wait to return.
