This is really five star accommodation but the reason for only four lies with the quality of sleep whilst we were there for three nights. During each night, before dawn, we were awakened by the sound of many bats returning to their roost. We were unsure where this roost was located ~ in the clock tower or with in the roof space. Unfortunately, it was difficult to resume sleep after this quite loud and lengthy interruption. I think the management may have been previously aware of this situation as they didnât seem very surprised when advised of it. Although we enjoyed our time at this beautiful apartment, the situation with the bats would put us off returning.

The Apartment was comfortable and furnished to the highest standards. The grounds are beautiful. We had a lovely welcome and the welcome basket was generous and thoughtful. We were regarded as visitors rather than paying guests. Would welcome information booklets on how to use the appliances. However we were encouraged to contact the office if there were any problems and they were always available. Would love to stay there again.
