nespresso machine delicious mead fireplace coffee coffee machine car access hotel grounds
Driving up, i noted the building's majesty. the reception welcomed me, and they stored my luggage as my room wasn't quite ready. i had a latte by the fireplace. The service was perfect. the room had a nespresso machine with pods and a delicious bottle of mead.
i noticed a few things. i found the lack of a proper coffee machine surprising. also, you cannot access walks off the grounds without a car. that is worth mentioning.

The halloween and bonfire night event WAS fantastic. The spooky trails were very great. I had not seen fireworks so good in a long time. There were nice huts with food and drinks.
It was over £100 a night less. The hotel would not credit the difference. I asked for a cappuccino and got a milky coffee. I was told they do not have a barista machine..
