Otherwise, an excellent,luxurious and very comfy stay! Thanks to all the hard working staff.
Pros:

Spectacular grounds and landscaping!
Many old trees giving a cooling effect.
Very good breakfasts.
Loved the honeycomb.
Had dinner one night, good but a bit pricey for two courses.
Lunch in the bar was delicious and better value.
I was here for a wedding and it all went so well and beautifully done….so much food at the dinner!
A beautiful clean property and very nice staff.

Cons:

Terrible reading lamps beside the bed in room 20, giving off hardly any light at all.
I was unable to read in bed unless I used my flashlight that I had with me!
Please improve!
Bed was a little soft and I heard all my other friends ,also staying,saying that their pillows were not great.
Mine were just ok, but probably need replacing.
An easy fix.

Huge accessible shower is very unsafe.
Grab bars around the taps end, but none at all at the other end of nine feet of marble tile to walk over to get out and onto a dry bath mat.
We all were discussing this and discovered that all of us laid a trail of towels along the wet tile and out into the bathrooms to be able to walk out safely in our respective rooms!
I’m sure the staff wonder why all the towels provided are used every day for just one person…..that’s why!
Something that could easily be fixed by adding more grab safety bars ….please.
Also, the emergency cord is nowhere near the shower, where it is most needed.
If you fell, you’d have to just shout till someone came to help as you couldn’t get to near the cordon a far corner of the very large bathrooms.
Need more hangers please, five is not enough for a luxury hotel, especially attending weddings.
You are unable to hang dresses as the space between rail and shelves isn’t big enough to allow a dress to hang freely.
Again, another thing that could be easily fixed.

The ballroom where the wedding dinner was held is not air conditioned like every other space in the hotel.
It was just sweltering in there for a long dinner, and the fans provided were doing nothing at all.
We think it reached about 33C over the evening in there.
The poor staff serving were really suffering , as it was unusual hot weather outdoors ,over 28C for three days.
The room is gigantic, so not sure it’s fixable….
Sound like a lot of complaints, but at those prices, all these details matter!

The best!
Pros:

I have never experienced such attentiveness from hotel staff prior to my stay here. I was blown away by the care and support given. On arrival, we were assisted by Ben and literally he made our stay! He gave the best first impression. This has made me change how I look at a overnight stay going forward. Excellent customer service, great food, amazing venue, beautiful walks and just the perfect escape. Breakfast was best breakie I have ever had. Those mini muffins were to die for ha. Thank you so much!
