Marleen, Mar 2020
Pros (+) This place surprised me: it is really difficult to describe. Not sure it was what I was expecting. Very unique, renovated Edwardian meets Bohemian meets Colonial. Kudos for the unconventional deco, overload of antiques, Belgian carpets/tapestry on the walls and quaint dinning room area on the veranda overlooking a green garden with a "queens tea party" chaise lounge.

Cons (-) Having said all of the above, there was no hot water in the evening. I had asked for "no feather products" to be in the room as I get an allergic reaction.

Khensani, Dec 2019
Pros (+) The breakfast was delicious, and the staff was friendly.
Cons (-) Paid 2100 for one night. The decoder wasn't working, the bed springs are worn out and make one hell of a noise. We found bottle lids under the bed. The pool and jacuzzi were dirty.

Kayleigh, Oct 2019
Pros (+) We liked the fact that we were asked place our dinner order before hand so that they could make sure they could make it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a stunning place and had the feeling of a beautiful chateau in France. The rooms were very clean and spacious.
Cons (-) The meals came a bit to quickly after each other, they could be delayed by 15 minutes or so between courses.
