I had a lovely time at the hotel, enjoying the beautiful grounds and the fantastic spa facilities. The food was excellent and delivered to a high standard, making for a pleasant dining experience. However, I found the dining options a bit limited for vegetarians, and it would have been nice to have more choices. The gardens were stunning, though the interior decor could use some updates to match the exterior charm.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The beautiful grounds and excellent dining experience really stood out, especially with the attentive restaurant service.

I had a lovely time at this hotel, particularly appreciating the beautiful grounds and the exceptional spa facilities. The wedding event I attended was truly magical, thanks to the fantastic team who coordinated everything flawlessly.

The dining options also left much to be desired, especially during breakfast, which could definitely use some improvement.
