A wonderful sense of relaxation, civilised quality, great food and service. Remote and special wine land estate location. Very high standard of decor and cleanliness. Classy and elegant.

Where to begin ? Food probably the best of all, but everything else excellent. Luxurious, quiet and comfortable room (we had Lady Anne Barnard), excellent service, tasteful decor, and the most beautiful setting imaginable, both for views and outdoor activities

Booking was a breeze and constant communicating with the hotel was immediate and without hassle. The all inclusive accommodation was perfect with the availability of drinks etc as and when required made the stay relaxed. The attention to detail without being intrusive was excellent. We enjoyed the peacefulness of our stay.

Internet, while strong and reliable most of the time, can go out, so prepare accordingly. This is a remote location. Dinner options felt repetitive at times, surprised not to see more meat dishes.
