Charming Stay Amidst History

roaming peacocksattentive staffcomplimentary portsteep hill
I enjoyed the peacocks roaming the grounds. It was quite a sight! the staff were all so attentive. i was also pleased to find a complimentary bottle of port in my room. A very thoughtful touch.
the steep hill leading to the hotel was quite challenging. taxis sometimes refused to drive all the way up. it would be useful to have clearer guidance on transport options for those with mobility issues
