    Beautiful old building, nice gardens, discolors and clean rooms, great breakfast. Dinner in the bar (not restaurant) was average at best.

    Beautiful landscaping and walk paths covering some 12 acres. It was very quiet setback off the road. The restaurant was wonderful, great food. Enjoyed afternoon coffee in the tea room.
