a countryside DREAM

beautiful gardens welsh rarebit helpful staff

I cherish the hotel's beautiful gardens and countless gazebos, those inviting spots where you can just sit, sip, and gaze. The evening meal was Really good!!! For breakfast, the welsh rarebit was equally good. All the staff demonstrated that they wanted us to relish the place, they offered tips on walks and shared information about the area.

I must say that the room felt a bit small for a longer stay. More space for luggage would really enhance the experience.

delicious lamb friendly staff homemade fudge

the food was amazing, especially the lamb dish. the staff were friendly, and they really looked after me. i loved the little extras like homemade fudge brownies to take to my room.

Some of the wall decoration wasn't my style. I would stick to sheep art.

The staff was friendly! and provided helpful advice about local walks. The evening meals had great presentation and were delicious.

I found the room to be a little small. Paying in advance did not guarantee availability upon arrival, though.

the location offered quiet surroundings with a lovely outlook over the hills and garden. the staff was efficient in the restaurant and bar, they worked like a well-oiled machine. the room was quite comfortable. i found it excellent for getting away from everyday life!

the bath towels were quite small... i'd hoped for something a little larger
