The approach to the hotel is through beautiful surroundings beautifully tended. The gardens are manicured and a relaxing environment to spend time.
The welcome from Debbie was both friendly and remarkably efficient (she didn't even have to ask our names) and the service she provided throughout our stay was even better. The room - and especially the bed - was comfortable and clean with a lovely view over sweeping fields.
The restaurant was charming and quiet, albeit a little warm on the first sunny day we've seen for a while. The menu offered sufficient choice (not too much), the food was good, well cooked, and the starters were excellent. Service in the restaurant, both at dinner and breakfast, was outstanding - with especial thanks to Lewis (Luis??) for looking after us - and retrieving my hat when I left it under the table.
We only stayed one night, as a half-way stopover between North Wales and Birmingham but we will be going back for longer. I can see how this place is attractive as a wedding venue but it's equally as attractive as a peaceful retreat at any time. Marvellous - and I can't praise the staff enough.
