The setting is glorious, a grand house hidden away in a wood with stately grounds. We had great difficulty finding it, despite a modern satnav and written directions. There is a small car park next to the entrance, but the main one is a tidy step away. The place has a sad air of faded glory, with tired furnishings and poorly maintained fittings. Our room, and our friends' rooms were all tiny, barely big enough to accommodate a double bed. The en suite shower room, more a cupboard really, was very small with no room for two. The promised bottled water was missing and took some time to materialise. One night was more than enough!
