I had a mixed experience at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful environment and friendly service, but was disappointed with the room's accessibility and the dining quality. While the scenic views and charming atmosphere make it appealing, the rooms and facilities could use some updates, especially given the price point.

We recently booked the Game Keepers Cottage for a hen party, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The value for money was remarkable, and the various amenities made it all the more enjoyable. On the downside, access to the main building requires a bit of a walk, which wasn't ideal in poor weather.
