This is a lovely property. The rooms are spacious and well designed. Bed was very comfortable. AC in rooms. Did have washcloths. The drinks in the lounge are expensive. $16-18 per drink, these only have 32 ml of alcohol in each drink so a double can add up. We did the preset meal at the restaurant on the property. It was just OK for the price of $90 pp. The bikes that are available to ride around the property need to be updated.

The property is beautiful and rooms are lovely. Only thing that could have made the stay is breakfast options and keeping buffet options filled as many options were empty bowls. (Yogurt, fruit, granola) there was also very limited staff for breakfast hours.

The service and room fell short of expectations though the grounds are spectacular. The dining options are good, but not standout. The room had a musty smell and lacked control over temperature. The service was average. The grounds were gorgeous and the falconry was a fun and wonderful highlight of our stay.

The hotel itself is beautiful in an amazing setting. Our room was very comfortable with a great bathroom. Our porter (Michael I think) that greeted us when we arrived, was very friendly and helpful. He met us when we checked out as well and helped us plan our day.

We had a wonderful day for our 10 year wedding anniversary. The staff was exceptionally friendly and kind and answered all of our questions. They made several suggestions around the surrounding areas.

Perfect bit of luxury

Simply beautiful and matched by excellent service from all staff members you encounter. We arrived late and welcomed with professionalism and warmth. Rooms, linens and fixtures fittings excellent. Bar and lounge just what you need after a long day. Leo knowledge and charm behind the cocktail bar second to none and the best negroni and setting in a very long time.
