Beautiful spot in a historic old house. Staff were absolutely lovely. The irritant was a stream of messages beforehand but not answering my own questions. A really weird one was they kept running out of key ingredients at breakfast like brown bread and tomatoes. I’d advise going early because they do run out of things fairly quickly . A nice pool was a real bonus for the kids. Lots of EV chargers too.
