This place beautiful! The room felt very homey. I do not recommend the Goat restaurant though. The service was lackluster, took forever and the food was not good. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that are good. Other than that, if you want a wonderful nights sleep and fantastic tub, this will be perfect.

Good experience

Room was very clean and comfortable, pillows sucked. Staff at front deck were ok, didnt go out of their way to be friendly. People at the pub were good, Laura D. behind the bar was an excellent representative of your company. Toilet in the room made a whistling noise everytime we flushed it.

The hotel was nice and the staff was friendly. Two restaurants on property which were good . They charged $29 a day resort fee and I have no idea what you get for the money. The spa is open to the public, which is fine, but why am I paying fee for that access. Pool was closed for the season, tennis courts were in disarray. Another hotel gouging their guest with nonsensical resort fees. We would not stay there again.

Visually the resort is stunning, the grounds are beautiful, the attention to detail remarkable and the pool/spa area is amazing. The food in The Lazy Goat was really good especially the Maple Rosemary Chicken Wings. However, the elevator in our building (The Mansion) was broken, we were on the second floor and they did offer to help with our bags. The ice machine was also out of commision and the lobby door needed a little TLC to spruce up the area. It's a little odd that there is no dedicated reception area, I wasn't sure where to go to check in then realised check in is at the same counter as the coffee and pastries. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to relax and rejuvinate.
