The hotel is in a stunning setting and we had glorious weather; being a skeptic I wasn't expecting that the interior, food or staff could possibly live up to the first impression. Delighted to say I was wrong. The staff were all fantastic and worked incredibly hard all weekend; they were both charming, helpful and went the extra mile despite the demands made on them. The food and interior left a memorable impression, even for the seasoned traveller. Highly recommend anyone who gets the chance to stay does so.Recently attended my brother's wedding at Boath House.
