The whole estate is just magnificent, we had the apartment in a separate cottage and it was lovely. They have a pool and sauna and the restaurant was very good. But mostly we enjoyed sitting by the fireplace on a stormy night.
The pool and sauna are a bit dated but they are planning to rebuild those very soon.

Best breakfast anywhere - beautifully presented.
Staff superb without being condescending. Afternoon tea and scone every day.
The ground and gardens immaculate with lots of autumn colours.
Family fun with croquet, tennis, putting and spa.
All perfect.

The property was very nice with walking trails and gardens. The staff, excluding one person was very friendly and helpful. We were in the area to hike and there were many trails within a 30 minute drive of the property.
The only negative with our stay was Calum. He was very condescending to guests making derogatory statements about us being Americans. Avoid this guy if possible during your stay.

Like staying on the set of Pride and Prejudice. The gardens are stunning, the grounds have beautiful places to walk, and the accommodations and location are excellent. Good food, a nice bar, and very friendly, helpful staff.
The atmosphere is quite formal and quiet, and it felt more like a polished hotel than a home. That's understandable since it's run by a trust, but it lacked a bit of personal warmth. It suits travelers who want a calm, traditional setting.
