charming retreat in the countryside

attentive staffbeautiful designfine viewnarrow stair
I found the staff very attentive and helpful. They provided great detail about the hotel and nearby attractions. the hotel's design is beautiful, and the lounges offered fine views. i loved the ten acres of grounds with walkways and the maze. It was great (i really enjoyed the maze).
i booked through a third-party site, and the room was in an outbuilding, accessible only by a narrow, winding stair. the room felt too small for a longer stay due to very limited storage for clothing.
