Zašto Ljudima Se Sviđa

Pregledano od @ginagoesto: I spent the dreamiest weekend here living my best cottagecore life. From the incredible greenhouse tasting menu to roasting marshmallows by the fire, everything was perfect. It’s the ultimate foodie escape if you need to unplug and be spoiled.

Saveti insajdera
- ✨
Buy a loaf of sourdough and a cinnamon bun from the on-site bakery before you check out—it sells out fast.
- ✨
Walk across the fields (ask reception for the map) to 'The Malt Shovel' in Barston for a great local gastropub lunch.
- ✨
If Grace & Savour is fully booked, the 'Smoke' restaurant is a fantastic, more rustic alternative by MasterChef winner Stu Deeley.

💡The 'gym' is non-existent; you are expected to walk the grounds.
💡You can hear the planes even with the windows shut in some rooms.
💡The 'Cottage' is actually a 5-minute walk from the main building, which can be annoying in rain.
💡Room service is limited compared to big chain hotels.
