Its Edwardian structure, complete with well-maintained gardens, immediately signals a relaxing stay, and the offer to personalize itineraries shows an unusual commitment to guest experience. It's the kind of place where you sense genuine care, from the home-cooked breakfast to the engaging hosts, and I think that makes all the difference.”
