The location was beautiful. The room was clean with comfy beds and the breakfast hamper filled with local produce was the best! Very limited phone reception in the area and the wifi was practically non existent which made it difficult to communicate with our large group.

it was a very friendly experience, and brilliant for guests at the wedding on-site. A special extra was hearing the history of the property and taking the tour of house and out buildings next morning. We would like to have known that bedroom and bathroom were on different floors; it would have made a difference to our decision to stay there. we would also like a little more hanging positions in the bedroom.
