Mixed Experience at This Country House

maintained groundsovercooked steakuncomfortable sunbeds

The grounds were beautiful and well-kept. (I especially enjoyed the walking paths.)

The food quality was inconsistent . My steak arrived tough and overcooked, a significant letdown. the sunbeds by the pool were unusually uncomfortable, impacting my relaxation time.

I loved the well-kept grounds. They were fine. The staff are super friendly. Nothing reminded me of too much trouble for them! The accommodation in my Lodge was first-rate. I found dining experiences to be excellent.

The minibar in the room was not restocked daily, so I had to call a couple of times for water.
