Not suitable for anyone with a disability or sight problems as the ceilings upstairs and in the bathroom not easy to negotiate. Stairs need better rails.

We couldn't have been happier with our stay, the property was high class, decor was beautiful, facilities second to none. The added little touches of coffee pods and the welcome hamper of bread, eggs and milk meant as we'd arrive very late into the evening we didn't have to worry about breakfast and drinks for the following day.
