The only reasons I couldn’t give this property 5 stars is due to the spiders in the rooms, and the prices vs quality of the food served in the restaurant downstairs. It’s, by far, one of the most spectacular house hotels we’ve ever stayed at in terms of beauty, comfort, and location. But when you wake up to find a squashed spider on your pillow (which you likely accidentally killed in your sleep -yes there was bug juice on the pillow too), it makes you question a few things. I told the nice blonde girl that works at the front desk and she had someone turn over our room right away. Did I sleep with one eye open that night anyway? I did :( Anyway, I think that a bit of fumigation tactics will clean the place right up. We also paid for breakfast to be included in our nightly rate, but wound up getting charged 5 quid for a coffee.
