Beautiful hotel and gardens with a bar and restaurant on-site. We had a lovely time wandering the grounds with a cocktail and even felt a bit like royalty. A breakfast buffet was included and had great options. The rooms are a little older and dated - it was hot in the room - because I don’t think we had a/c - but they were very clean and the beds were comfortable. (Make sure you check out the hotel museum in the basement - it’s really interesting!

Beautiful setting. Plenty of room to park. Staff friendly & efficient. The restaurant & bar staff are very smart in uniform with their hair tied back. Our stay was to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. In our room we found a chilled bottle of bubbly, a card & a plate of tasty bites....a very nice thoughtful touch. Thankyou!

Very attentive, friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Room and hotel was very clean. We didn't get to use the swimming pool as it was quite busy. Highly recommend the spa treatments, great service. The only issue we had was our room was extremely warm, couldn't open the windows as the window frames had been freshly painted making it impossible to open the windows!

Hotel was beautiful and included breakfast was good. If you want to eat there, reserve your table way ahead of time - restaurant is small for the hotel size and they only serve dinner for 2 hours each night. Lighted mirror didn't work and the pump marked "lotion" was filled with hand soap instead, but otherwise excellent. Oh, there were no outlets by the bedside tables, we both use cpap devices and had to borrow extension cords from the front desk which they did have available thankfully.
