Place where you can relax and enjoy a peaceful countryside life. Cottage room are very nice with own fire plce and comfy bed but smells old and damp would be nice to have some better ventilation there. Same as swimming pool and jacuzzi nice pool but very shallow, once you in jacuzzi is hard to breathe due to chlorine and bad ventilation.

Music from restaurant filtered up in the room, and didn't switch off until 11:45. When I first arrived in the room I thought it was a speaker in the room playing 'relax and welcome' music, but it wasn't it became more dancey as the night went on. 2. The road is a bit noisy - again this isn't the hotel's fault. The hotel is in an excellent location. I guess you get used to this!!"
