the wide open space of the main building with Restaurant and Lounge facilities. The nature of the surroundinggardens/lake views as well as the outdoor pool facilities. Free breakfast and mini bar are a welcome addition tothe price package. Save parking for our car and enough walk ways on the property are also appreciated, as well as the heating/aircon was great to keep the winter chill at bay.
nothing comes to mind.
Incredibly beautiful property with the most lovely, friendly, and accommodating staff. Decor and comfort of the room were exceptional. Chefs were extremely accommodating for our allergies and customized everything to our preferences. The most magical stay. Will be returning soon.
Everything but most especially the staff. Old school charm and beautifully appointed rooms… The shuttle into town made everything so convenient and allowing us to chose from a selection of great wines that are included in the stay was a pleasant and welcome surprise!
