Pros:

Ligging en het fantastische restaurant met supervriendelijk personeel. Mooie ingerichte kamers met wijn en bibliotheek. Prachtig! En een zwembad!

Cons:

Kwaliteit van de kamer. Deuren en ramen die bijna niet open gingen omdat dit onderhoud nodig heeft. Inchecken vanaf 14.00 uur en niet vanaf 13.30 uur.

The most beautiful hotel with outstanding service and delicious food.
Pros:

Everything about my stay was exceptional! Wonderful warm welcome, helpful staff in every area of the hotel, genuinely friendly service, beautiful room and exquisite bathrooms. The food in the restaurant and bar was outstanding. Gorgeous outdoor pool!

Cons:

The only thing I could comment on that was remotely negative was the lack of charging points next to the bed, however this is a minor inconvenience and in no way negatively impacted my perfect stay.

Pros:

A lovely, beautiful place with separate units that you can book. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and our stay very comfortable. We had to leave early in the morning, and they even arranged breakfast for us to take on the road, which was a very thoughtful touch. The location is also excellent and very convenient.
