United Kingdom, March 2024

7.6/10

The hotel's rooms could do with some sprucing up and were a bit noisy in the evenings, making it hard to sleep early. However, the service was exceptionally kind and gracious, albeit with uncomfortable chairs. The location is isolated but incredibly beautiful, perfect for a short break with various entertainment options. The dining experience offered high-quality food, including freshly cut fruit, but some items were served cold. The facilities were adequate, catering to different needs.
