This was a very nice, peaceful stay. I didn't have the highest expectations, but even had I, those would have been met. The staff was very kind and resourceful, the room was clean and spacious, and the property was more quiet than I expected (a huge plus).

We stayed an extra 2 days due to bad weather and closed roads. Nothing was a problem and we were looked after very well. I don't usually write reviews but the people here really do go the extra mile and I've never had an experience like it before! :-)
