Pros:

The grounds were spectacular, room was comfortable and staff was extraordinary. We did Falconry and that was a highlight for all. There are plenty of activities. Breakfast had a lot of options. the cocktails were some of the most elaborate and exquisite I have seen and tasted. It was a great stay enjoyed by all.

Cons:

The pool was in a separate building and needed to be given a ride there. It wasn't too bad just required a little bit more planning.
