Gordon United Kingdom“Great location, spacious room in the main hotel. Beautiful grounds with large spa. Very popular for weekend breaks and biking. Enjoyed the food, but every meal needed to be booked.”
Juulia United Kingdom“Our room was very spacious and the hotel surroundings were beautiful. We also appreciated that we were able to bring our dog with us and felt he was very welcome in the hotel. There was a small additional charge for him staying.”
