The gardens were immaculate and provided such a relaxing area to sit. The staff were really good and really friendly (they always said hello!). The welcome was warm and everyone seemed curious about our stay. The room decor featured a beautiful color scheme and high-quality bedding.

The supper was not worth the price charged, a bit disappointing.
