"It was such a pleasure to enjoy the thoughtful and amazing culinary offerings from breakfast to dinners with phenomenal food and great service. The room itself was marvelous. Thoughtful touches like heated mirrors or w/c floor lights really capture a truly luxury experience."

Another shared: "Luxury for nature lovers: faultless. Service was fantastic from everyone we dealt with without the pretentiousness of other 5* hotels. Spa is beautiful with huge windows looking out to the countryside and the sound of nature piped in. Good food and cocktail absolutely lovely. Couldn't recommend enough."
