Historic house with character, unbeatable comfort
The historic house guests stayed in was also thought to have great character and the rooms were noted as offering a fantastic combination of creature comforts like very snuggly linen and towels, style, cleanliness and all of the necessities needed. On top of this, the hotel's location was apparently very peaceful and relaxing, especially since it had its own garden.
