The location was beautiful and peaceful. The surrounding estate offered excellent opportunities for scenic walks. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast at Stove was a highlight with many choices, and everything tasted fresh.

finding parking near my room was difficult. i had to unload luggage far from my building.. this caused unnecessary inconvenience upon arrival. the restaurant service was also slow. i waited a long time for my first course, quite frustrating. perhaps more staff during peak times would help.
