a wonderful stay
warm atmosphere walled garden
I am grateful i experienced middlethorpe. a warm atmosphere occurred throughout. we stayed in a courtyard cottage. It included two bathrooms so we did not share. we walked the grounds. It included a walled garden and a wildlife pond.
The room looked dated. the bed was short. the breakfast was overpriced. The quality did not match the price.
