Pros:

The staff was exceptionally helpful and made you feel at a world class place. The food was amazing portions, different in a good way and exceptionally tasty. The views were incredible and the game drives were fantastic. The private hot tub was a game changer, kept warm at a call away and sungazed into the night. Definely will book the sky room again.

Cons:

Prices were fairly high for the place and expected more. Second room had no smart TV, had no hot water at 1 point, plug points weren't in good locations and hairdryer did not work. Food prices are fairly expensive and should have been discounted for hotel guests. Payed so much for room art but was basic rosemary petals, no further setup no champaigne like other locations, so nothing new or special.

Friendly reception staff. Didnt like the restaurant staff. Extremely slow, rude other guy kept insisting we drink castle
Pros:

Honestly the place more “glamping” then a boutique Hotel

Cons:

The main reception staff very friendly. It was my partner birthday so when we got to the room we found a note but it was upside down.
