Absolutely stunning property and surroundings. We have stayed before and will be returning again asap. Always perfect and very clean and thoughtful welcome pack and fresh flowers etc. thanks again!
What a lovely place to stay in the heart of England. Supremely comfortable bed, and many thoughtful touches. Everything you could want was there and the property was within easy reach of Leamington Spa and Warwick. Particularly appreciated the EV charger.
