The staff was friendly there. It dealt with constant day visitors and hotel guests.
I brought some locals to visit. I got the shock of my life with an entrance fee without any benefits, other than walking in their winter farm.

a few issues for the price point
beautiful gardenslimited seatinginconsistent service
the location was lovely and the gardens were beautiful.
I stayed for four nights. i was disappointed by the lack of available seating at the pool, there were not enough loungers for all the guests. the service was also inconsistent. Sometimes it was attentive, other times it was slow. the room also felt a bit dated, especially given the cost.
