Positive: Beautiful old house - felt in need of a bit of TLC though!
Negative: As above it felt a bit ‘tired’ in the decor and I noticed the chair stretchers in the dining room were very dusty. Maybe a coffee machine in bedrooms a good addition?

Positive: We didn’t get to experience much of the grounds, but they looked beautiful. The reason we didn’t get that experience was my husband ended up in the ER / hospital. And I applaud your caring and competent staff for their help in that crisis, particularly Claire at front desk. She was SUPER! We think we were extremely fortunate to accidentally have found a place near a good hospital. Again, deep thanks to staff!
Negative: Things are a bit worn but minor compared to the value of the location, the grounds and the excellent staff treatment.
Summary: Beautiful grounds, wonderful staff!
