“The grounds offer a charming setting, complemented by staff who are genuinely friendly and attentive. Dining proved to be a highlight, with generous portions and well-prepared dishes, though some may find the pricing a touch high. Rooms, particularly those in newer sections, are comfortable, though the absence of shaver points is a curious omission in modern hospitality.”
