"We got married here 35 years ago, and come back every five years. The good news is that it is still as good as ever. Very quaint in the Manor House, service is excellent, food likewise. It's like you are being entertained by the host of the house.
Lots of activities and a very good spa. Fun for the whole family or just a couples getaway."
