Great stay in a wonderful and relaxing location with food and wonderful staff.
Pros:

The Grill restaurant was delicious. Breakfast buffet was fantastic. We loved walking the large grounds. So peaceful. Our room was specious, and I enjoyed a bath — Something I never have time for. They helped us celebrate our 25th anniversary with champagne and chocolates. I enjoyed having a gym to work out in although the hours were not broad enough for our tight schedule.

Cons:

There is nothing I could say I did not like except: trust me soap and hangers. Everything was tacked down and if I a pending $550 US a night I am stealing neither. Los bubble bath for tub would have been nice. I had to pour the tacked down soap into a shower cap to have something to bathe with then there was no kettle for the tea bags.
