The potential for this to be an amazing experience was so close yet it just didn’t live up to its expectations
Pros:

Love the setting. Beautifully furnished stunning scenery.

Cons:

It felt as though it was striving to operate a high end experience but lacked the infrastructure to maintain perhaps what it once was.

Lovely boutique inn where you would want to spend more days than planned.
Pros:

Lovely garden setting. Spacious well designed rooms and bath. RADIANT HEAT IN BATHROOM!!!! Lovely breakfast personally made up in beautiful contemporary dining room.

Cons:

While an easy drive into city center it was a challenging 30+ minute walk on a heavily trafficked road.

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.
