Perfect wedding stay
Everything was exceptional, wonderful, and all around perfect. We got married during our stay, and the property made the most beautiful and wonderful stay for our special weekend. The cottage was lovely and the breakfasts were such a special highlight of every single stay.

Relaxing and calming property. The staff was friendly and prompt.
Nicholas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice bed and breakfast type inn. The house is old but very well-built, so it's pretty sound proof between rooms. The room was very well maintained as well. The breakfast and the option to dine in the room makes a comfortable morning. The in-room spa service was convenient. The room with the skylight windows did make me wake up much earlier than intended because of the brightness. Something to consider if you are interested in that room. Might work for early birds.
