Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Although this is a very beautiful property, their focus during our time was on an upcoming wedding. Bar was closed and minimal dining options. We felt like an "after thought"and probably were. Our breakfast was very average. Our room was nice but overall unless you are attending a wedding there, I would pass on this property.

Staff were all excellent, as was the food & drinks. Room was very comfortable and clean, and the building had a lot of character. We (including the dog) enjoyed sitting by the log fire after dinner. Short one night stay but would return in the summer to enjoy the grounds more.
