Really good Stay, Garden Lodge Perfection!

comfortable bedamazing showerwell-stocked tray
The garden lodge named Covenhoe suited us so well since we brought two dogs I noted a decked area outside allowed convenient access to exercise spots. The bed was comfortable I must say the shower was amazing I appreciated the mini fridge with fresh milk. A well-stocked hospitality tray included lovely toiletries and fluffy towels this was good.
I found the dog towels a bit short for the wet day thus extra towels for the floor are recommended.

Really good Experience

friendly staffexquisite foodlocal producersreally good lunch
The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The food was exquisite and unique, with many ingredients grown on site. I especially enjoyed the Sunday lunch, it was really good and the hotel uses local producers. This really enhanced my experience.
There was a slight noise from the pipes every hour, a minor inconvenience in an otherwise perfect stay.

the staff was friendly, this part was acceptable.
The noise at night was a real problem. some sort of machinery or pipes made constant noises, and i found it hard to sleep. It was not a quiet night. also, i thought the breakfast service could have been better, particularly considering the price i paid. I wasn't offered water or juice.
