"We stayed for 3 nights in May. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and we felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay. The property is beautifully maintained, and the gardens and surrounding nature create a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city. Everything was well managed and thoughtfully looked after. Their cocktails were also exceptional! A special mention to the staff member who prepared them for me (I'm sorry I can't remember his name). He took the time...
