"The staff were so accommodative and bent over backwards to cater to our needs. The location is stunning and so are the grounds. The set up of the rooms means that there’s barely any light that infiltrates and so during the day you may need to switch on a light to find your way. "

All the time I was there, I showered cold water and the place is really cold. Dinner was practically for fighting, with orders taking...
