“I found the rooms surprisingly spacious and impeccably clean, each featuring a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower and a truly comfortable bed. The grounds themselves present a wonderfully tranquil spot, with a shady garden perfect for unwinding with a drink, and the quality of the food certainly caught my eye. It feels like a well-appointed country escape, thoughtfully put together.”
