The images online did not match the room that we stayed in, the room was very outdated and in need of a refurbishment. Other than that the staff were all very helpful and attentive during our stay.

Good trip but let down by a couple of issues

Great food in charming hotel. Would have awarded 5 stars if hotel did not continue to run out of certain items on menu/bar. Also breakfast service was not great on first day as waiting ages for order without tea coffee delivered , waitress was unwell but when paying top dollar for food an lodging I expected premium service.

The location was amazing, and the house and room were very nice. Check-in was easy, and the staff was great. Housekeeping in the room could use a bit of work as I found trash from previous guests in a couple of the desk drawers. Most of our meal was delicious but my venison was over cooked but my wife was perfect. No one asked us about our meal until they came to clean the dishes away and when I mentioned the overcooked meat I got an "Oh sorry" with no offer to fix the issue.
