It's a truly rare experience to be able to stay within such beautiful and historic grounds. Being able to walk in the gardens in the morning while they are completely quiet was wonderful. We loved our room, overlooking the river and gardens - loads of sun in the morning and really beautiful views. Katherine is a really kind and thoughtful person (she went out to get the kind of tea I mentioned I like as she didn't have exactly that one in her extensive range of teas - unnecessary but really appreciated!) and she runs this business with elegance and professionalism. We arrived stressed out after a couple of tough weeks at work and left rejuvenated. Already looking forward to going back.
