The perfect place to end our trip. ❤️
Pros:

Everything!!!! Beautiful artwork, gardens, rooms and helpful staff. The food was fantastic and the mocha coffee the best I’ve had!!! Could have sat in the atrium area and lounged all day. Nice thought was the marshmallows by the fire to have at night. Great bathrooms with fabulous lighting.

Cons:

Couldn’t think of anything. The stay was perfect.

Would visit again without doubt
Pros:

Location was very accessible, walkable to the city, down hill, the return a little more challenging but a very short Uber ride. Breakfast was fresh produce, prepared virtually in the dining area with very attentive staff, absolute pleasure.

Cons:

We were sorry to depart!
Pros:

Loved breakfast; the dining room and gardens are gorgeous!

Cons:

Someone checked in to the room next door very late at night & woke us up. Not fun.
Then someone began talking to a room-mate or on the phone at 4:00 am. Also, not fun.
Perhaps guests in the main house should be told upon arrival that the rooms are not soundproof at all.

Deutlich abgewohntes Zimmer, mangelnde Sauberkeit und ein insgesamt nicht stimmiges Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Pros:

Das Haus wirkt von außen sehr ansprechend, und der Garten ist schön angelegt.

Cons:

Der Zustand und die Sauberkeit des Zimmers waren inakzeptabel für diese Preiskategorie: stark abgewohnte Oberflächen, deutliche Beschädigungen an Holzverkleidungen und Armaturen, eine über die gesamte Länge gesprungene Glasscheibe zum Außenbereich, ein unebener Teppichboden sowie erhebliche Staubablagerungen an Lüftungen und Glasflächen im Bad. Zusätzlich war das Zimmer nur mithilfe eines mobilen Heizkörpers ausreichend zu beheizen (im Sommer).

Auch der Service konnte nicht überzeugen: Der Check-in wirkte gehetzt und es wurde keine Unterstützung beim Gepäck angeboten. Ein im Zimmer angekündigtes Willkommensangebot war nicht vorhanden, und das Frühstück entsprach weder in Qualität noch in Auswahl der Hotelkategorie oder dem aufgerufenen Preis.

Insgesamt ein sehr enttäuschendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Bei diesem Preis erwarten wir einen deutlich besseren Zustand, mehr Sorgfalt und ein stimmiges Gesamterlebnis.

Pros:

great service, breakfast and lucky enough to snag an upgrade to a bigger room. The garden is stunning plus I love the ease of parking on site/being out of the city a bit for privacy. Third stay.

Excellent except for air-conditioning
Pros:

It was amazing and the staff where super friendly.

Cons:

Air-conditioning in room was locked and could not be change. Very clammy and sticky at night.
Also in booking.com it stated free mini bar but mini bar was definitely not free.
