10/10 Excellent
"Very nice location and helpful staff. Nice spa facilities, and the breakfast was great! Although there was an issue with our assigned room, the staff immediately sorted it out and got us set in an identical one without question or delay. Couldn't have asked for more."

8/10 Good
"The main building was lovely with classic old-world charm. Breakfast was really nice with wonderful views from the sitting areas. We stayed in the Annex, which was just ok—the rooms were small and felt a bit tired compared to the photo. The Annex doesn't quite match the charm of the main building, so I'd recommend booking a room in Main building to get the best experience."
