Great gem of a spot from the busy city life. Its a haven, if you looking for a tranquil getaway. Breakfast was continental & suitable for the start of the day. The location is heavenly

Stunning location. Beautiful gardens and ‘secret’ pathways. Very quiet. Comfortable beds and powerful shower! Beautiful lounge and dining area and well set up with pool table. Would be great for a group but also relaxing for a couple. Wonderful stay.
