Staff was amazing, and communication during and after booking was excellent. The building (built in 1830) was excellently maintained, and furnishings/decor struck the perfect balance between period and modern. The included breakfast was cooked and served in the upstairs dining room (former ballroom/meeting room). Parking was adequate and on site. The surrounding area was convenient and remote enough to be quiet, yet near necessities. The on site pub had excellent food and was reasonably priced. All in all, it was an amazing experience (for our 50th wedding anniversary), and everything we'd hoped. We'll be staying again.

The Arboretum, a part of the botanic gardens, is beautiful this time of year. While flowers aren’t the main display, the trees make a run for their money with the bright and many shades of reds, oranges, yellows and greens. Come in the evening and make your way to the overlook for a perfect view of sunset. #mybackyard
