    The rooms would need modernization, and in the main building, works were ongoing. Better heating is needed in the bathroom. Not all staff speak English.

    Quiet location, nice views, big rooms, animals in the garden, nice restaurant.

    Housekeeping did not check lighting work Why are bathrobes hidden in cupboards and not on display?

    Setting and calm Food well conceived however the temperature was warm. Two waiters who were very efficient maybe was not enough for evening service The breakfast was very good and varied - excellent

    Be aware that most of the rooms are in the first floor and there is no elevator. Not an issue unless you have heavy luggages or can’t carry. Bad experience with the restaurant. we were willing to take a light lunch before a wedding diner. there is no way of being served simple salads or other light meals. The manager looked down on us for asking that. Not nice ! We had to find another restaurant a bit further (15min ride) not a big deal.

    very nice surroundings. the location is great. nice and confortable room.

    How do you feel about goats?

    • Deluxe Triple Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The rooms didn't have much in the way of ventilation. One window that opened out towards the pond, but as it was on the ground floor didn't seem safe to leave open. And then one very small one in the bathroom. Otherwise, it was all ok. Clean, comfortable bed, etc. Just missing that something special that I was expecting.

    We stopped here on the way south. A good, out of town place to stop. Didn't quite know what to expect, but sort of had the sense that there was something about "silence" to do with it. Turns out I was wrong, but we had a good night there anyway. The restaurant was fine, but a somewhat limited menu. Staff helpful and friendly - they arranged a place for me to make an unexpected work video call from, much appreciated. The two highlights were: a) the pond and b) the goats. I know a pond might not sound like much, but it was a very nice one, relaxing to walk around, with a few ducks (or maybe swans?). And goats? Well, there used to be goats where my mother lives, so maybe it meant more to me that it might to most. Price seemed ok, but no great bargain.

    The hotel bar is in a corner of the restaurant and feels a little squashed. We paid an extra €20 to have a ground floor room as we have two dogs and of course the extra €12 each dog. Not sure why as no carpets in the room just a tiled floor. The room was very dated and the bathroom a disappointment. No separate shower, so the shower is overhead in the middle of the large corner bath. No handrails, when slippery it’s very dangerous. If I had been travelling alone, I wouldn’t have dared use it. The toilet is separate with no window or extractor fan. The restaurant is expensive and rather limited. The hotel offers bar food or other option to eat, which if you’ve had a long journey and just want a light snack it’s not possible.

    Beautiful grounds, well maintained. Convenient location. Quiet tranquil. Very dog friendly and beautiful walks although I noticed there is electric fencing understandably due to the proximity of the woods. No one mentioned if it was switched on during the day, worth asking if you’re free running your dogs.

    Decor was distinctly dated. Comfortable beds but no air-conditioning, only a small fan. Hard floor could have used bedside rugs. Bathroom needed updating. Evening meal was expensive by our standards, rather fussily presented and some courses lacked flavours worthy of the price. Cheapest wine was outrageously expensive at €45 a 75cl bottle.

    Unusual "converted stables" set in flat, extensive parkland with lakes and some roaming animals. Very clean, tidy & peaceful. Lots of car parking. Fabulous, attentive staff & excellent service.

    As the room was on the 1st floor under the roof, and no airconditioning and curtains- it was not easy to have fresh air and keep the room dark. It was possible to use the shutters but overall that was the only minor
