Pros:

Piscine et terrasse très agréables.

Cons:

Chambre : pas de fenêtre avec vue sur le golf ou le parc, seulement un oculus et une petite fenêtre toutes deux en hauteur.
Restaurant : pas de climatisation dans la salle de restaurant, ce qui n'est pas pardonnable à ce niveau de prestation, surtout en période de canicule !

Luxurious hotel in a fabulous setting.
Pros:

The room was clean spacious and the air-conditioning worked brilliantly with no noise. The staff were very friendly. The swimming pool was great. We ate in the restaurant one evening and it was exceptional. They had great wines and even a pretty decent IPA. The golf course around is very interesting, a bit dry though but this summer has been exceptionally hot. The breakfast was also great with a good choice of foods including scrambled eggs and bacon.
