The location was deep in the countryside, as we’d hoped. We loved the decor, it was sophisticated, tasteful and somewhat unusual. Everything was selected with great care, complementing the venerable age of the hotel. Our room was gorgeous, aesthetically pleasing, a real pleasure to spend the night there. The restaurant food (and breakfast) was good too. The staff were friendly and helpful. Returning!
Summary: A real pleasure to stay at this lovely old inn.

The food was top quality, bar staff were exceptional. Beer was much cheaper than expected. Very welcoming young man on arrival showed us to our property. So quiet and clean air. First time for ages I’ve seen star constellations with my bare eyes as there was no light pollution.
Negative:
Nothing
Summary: Great location, friendly staff. Can’t fault it. Will recommend to anyone
