    charming staff
    excellent breakfast
    beautiful outdoor pool
    limited dining options

    Charming staff made our experience memorable Declan and Stacey took time to show us around and the attention to detail was splendid. Breakfast choices were delightful (especially the homemade granola) and the outdoor pool area was a fantastic escape.

    The limited on-site dining options were a slight setback, but with so many wonderful restaurants nearby, it was easily manageable.

    fabulous breakfast
    limited dining options

    What a delightful surprise! We loved the electric blanket on the extra-large bed and the fabulous breakfast featuring a variety of dishes, but the lack of dinner options was a bit disappointing.

    heated pool
    luxurious ambiance
    air conditioning

    The heated pool by the porch provided a luxurious and exclusive feel, making relaxation effortless. The attention to decor and design was commendable, with a lovely ambiance that truly elevated the experience.

    The air conditioning in the room directed airflow uncomfortably toward the bed, which might not suit everyone's preference. the absence of a generator for load shedding meant that our air conditioning unexpectedly shut off during the night, which was a bit inconvenient.

    beautiful atmosphere

    Couples looking for luxury

    The whole atmosphere was pure magic,, I mean,, the separate large lounge and dining room was just so relaxing, and I loved sinking into that extra large kingsize bed after a long day. Breakfast in the orangery by the open fire with soulful piano tunes was another level of class, just perfect for unwinding.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap,,, but let’s be honest, you get what you pay for.
