Hilary
The bedrooms are largely ensuite and all well furnished (although we couldn't find any hairdryers!). The sitting rooms and dining room are spacious and grand. Perhaps an electric car charging point could be added as we understand local charging points are unreliable and a full inventory of kitchen equipment would have been useful in advance. Otherwise, amazing.
