Beautiful period building. Comfortable bed, lovely garden. Continental breakfast was included but the spread was not just toast and cereal: there was ham, cheese and tomato croissant, crumpets, fresh fruits, yogurts and a coffee machine. Dining and reception area has beautiful decor. The best surprise, not listed in the facilities, was the complimentary EV charger for guests’ use. Will definitely stay again.
