Excellent value, enjoyable and fun experience, I will be back!

Pros: Wonderful location, adjacent to the fascinating Abbey ruins. It is primarily a retreat centre newly moving into hotel work and they are doing an excellent job. The place is warm, comfortable fascinating old house with much of interest. The staff were exceptional - well-organised, kind and constantly helpful. Breakfast really was superb. At the moment it’s really competitively priced too, so an ideal spot for a couple of days away walking and enjoying exploring the abbey and the nearby church.

Cons: I liked everything.
