This place provides an amazing, authentic manor house experience!! The grounds are extensive and could be explored for hours, as well as could the various communal spaces in the house. The beds are comfy and rooms are spacious and beautiful. That said, you will obviously not have all the modern conveniences you may be used to, such as an en suite shower, reliable internet, or light. We used the shower in our parents’ room and waited until we went into town to get internet service and/or use Wi-Fi. The breakfast provided was more of an afterthought, so you may want to plan for your own breakfast as we ended up doing. Since there are other people actually living in the manor and sharing the kitchen, we were hesitant to eat anything as it might belong to someone else or use the antique stove. The folks living there were very quiet and helpful. We didn’t receive the check in or breakfast information until I requested it a few hours before arrival, so communication could have been better there. Also, the address in the listing takes you to an unused gated entrance, so we had a hard time finding the place and had to call one of the tenants for help.
Any inconveniences along the way, however, were well worth the experience! I just think it helps to be informed ahead of time. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and we would definitely recommend it!!
