“The setting here is genuinely lovely, with the moat and canal adding a peaceful backdrop to the stay. While the restaurant food is consistently praised, some attention to minor upkeep and service attentiveness at breakfast would truly elevate the experience. Still, the warmth of the staff and the comfortable rooms make it a place I'd return to.”
