a romantic stay
opulent roomdelicious breakfastfriendly staffbeautiful grounds
I loved how opulent my room was, a real treat! it had complimentary chocolates and a chilled bottle of champagne. It felt so special. walking the grounds was lovely. I saw the resident peacock, colin, and some adorable highland coos. the staff were very friendly and happily shared stories about the history of the hotel and colin. dinner in rhubarb was superb. The breakfast menu was full of delicious choices and homemade potato scones.
the only slight downside was that some areas of the hotel had a few too many steps, making navigation a little tricky.

I had such a blast! the staff were super friendly and helpful. breakfast was excellent, and the tasting menu one evening was great too. i loved the opulent decor in both the hotel and the rooms. It felt so luxurious.
i booked for dinner, but i was a bit disappointed. there was no dress code. some diners wore jeans and casual clothing. i think a place that values quality should enforce a dress code.
