Reaching the reception desk, I was greeted by a welcoming smile from a young woman called Lucy, who quickly processed my checking in, and doublecheck that the room is prepared ready for me to move into, and was very efficient and helpful.
The room is on the top floor up a second small flight of stairs, who is very comfortably appointed with a view of the small lake and fountains outside.
I met my friend in the bar and the young barman, Sam.'G efficiently serve the drinks with a pleasant manner which he continued with in the dining room later that evening as we have chosen to dine in:we both thoroughly enjoyed our choices.
There is plenty of parking and the grounds were very welcoming.
If I had one small quibble, it would be that from the car parking, there was no clear signage about how to proceed to the reception, apart from going back to the road and at the front of the house, it was not immediately notable where the entrance to the reception was as there was no signage and misty. The French doors leading to the bar were also ajar, and I observed several other couples coming in also hesitating by the valet parking signs to discern which way they had to go.
However, apart from that, we enjoyed a very pleasant, relaxing day away from the bustle of daily routines...
