“Overall excellent.”
A few quibbles:
door to downstairs bedroom jams and no lock or handle
instructions on directions could be clearer-back gate only open if main drive locked, and this back gate is where Google takes you.
One overall point of view-gardens being planted up with exclusively non-native plants- rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias etc. The lovely wildlife depends on native trees and arboretum all around. Could do with much more native species around site especially hedgerow and deciduous trees.

Thank You for your feed back, I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I was not aware that one of the bedroom doors sticks, I will attend to that straight away. None of the bedrooms have locks as it's a family home, I think you may be referring to the ' Secret door ' to one of the bedrooms. This is a design aesthetic but there is a handle on the inside to get out.
I believe the arrival instructions you receive before your stay give full instructions on the Gate keypad and directions to the front gates and advise not to use SAT NAV. The back gates are only available to guests for pedestrian use. Most of the planting on the estate was done a long time ago but I will definitely look at native species if I am doing any further planting in our garden.
