a heartwarming stay

manor homecricket memorabilialimited selection
i found the hotel to be english through and through, almost like a grand manor home with so much charm. the bar, restaurant and the gardens were especially lovely, and the staff was excellent! i especially loved the little nook filled with cricket memorabilia, as the australian 1938 test team once stayed here.
The breakfast experience varied. While the first day was fine, the next day the options we chose were unavailable. the omelette i eventually ordered was simple and lacked the expected ingredients! i also experienced an upset stomach later.
