The balcony view and the property are the primary reasons to stay here. Despite rainy cool weather it was so great just to have tea (or wine) on the balcony. One if the best views I've ever enjoyed. The food was very good, and one of us is vegan.

This was part of a two stage trip and after a 6 hour drive we entered the pleasant good sized car park. The room we were given was very nice and a decent size. The meals were excellent and brought to us in good time, including a ver good breakfast. Best of all were the staff who were pleasant and efficient throughout.

Totally wonderful, the view from the dining hall was stunning. The staff were great and so helpful.
