+ Wow, what an amazing little find ! We arrived for our 1 night stay with our dog in tow and were immediately made to feel super welcome. A lovely member of our staff showed us to our room and explained all of the features of the room. The room itself was very cosy, clean and the decor was obviously well thought out and someone had obviously spent time curating individual touches for the room that added to its charm. We spent an hour or so (pre dinner) sat at the bar enjoying some wine. Great to see so many glasses available by the glass! Before transferring to a very cosy dinning room where we were seated next to the open fire, bliss! The food was fabulous, I highly recommend ordering the Tarte Tartin (made to order) as a dessert. Staff were very attentive throughout and we finished the meal with one glass more at the bar !!! The whole experience was brilliant and we are already looking at booking another stay before Christmas !
− Nothing to report in this section as everything was lovely !

+ A really lovely stay. A very comfortable, spacious room which was immaculately clean and looked out over fields. The staff really make the place - friendly, helpful and at dinner the team were superb ans really knowledgeable about the wines and food.
− The only thing we think is lacking is a guests' lounge where you can sit on a comfortable sofa or armchair, read and relax without having to be in your room or the bar. Turn up the lighting in the main dining area: I found it a bit gloomy
