Outstanding
Excellent... Good happy greetings when we arrived. The bed was amazing, best sleep for ages. Ate in the evening, no gammon or curry so had to have soup. But, the soup wasn't what i expected from a veg soup, totally brilliant. This is not the first we have stayed at Appleby Park and it wont be the last.
