“My exploration revealed a grand, historic structure where rooms feel thoughtfully modernized while retaining character, and the grounds offer breathtaking views for quiet strolls. The spa facilities, especially the pool and hot tub, are well-maintained, complementing a genuinely warm atmosphere throughout. It's a place where attention to detail, from quality toiletries to attentive staff touches, makes a lasting impression.”
