Property is beautiful and quiet. A little too quiet - if you don't play golf there is not much to do. The Lodges are older and looking a little worn. Staying here is still a good experience,

Cadre très agréable, réception à améliorer
L’hôtel est charmant, le parcours de golf est très bien entretenu, le pdj est excellent et l’expérience au spa est incroyable ! Nous étions 4 dans un lodge supérieur vue sur le golf, les points négatifs : pas de climatisation et la partie salon n’a pas de rideaux occultants sur toutes les ouvertures donc gênant pour les enfants qui ont l’habitude de dormir dans le noir. C’était compliqué d’avoir des informations claires et fiables concernant les autres activités proposées (escape game, fauconnerie) du coup nous n’avons pas pu les faire malgré plusieurs échanges avec les réceptionnistes c’est dommage.
Very beautiful area, castle and lodge. We hade a really nice stay in our room at the Lodge. Nice big room with a nice view.
Very Friendly staff and nice big breakfast.
Nice castle bar with fantastic view of the beautiful garden. Love to stay here again. Good free Parking just outside the lodge.
Everything was actually beautiful about this property. It was a great two days. Everything was so well maintained staff as friendly beautiful all around.
The air in the room didn't work so it got very stuffy with only one window and one exterior door to go out for air but nothing to stop bugs from coming in.....
Everything about our stay was absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend this as a must see and stay to everyone! Five stars on all accounts! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding! The service and staff was amazing. From our first experience with Micheal( first day on the job) too Emily ( whom I believe was in training) she made our experience at the club house for dinner a fantastic time. Thank you both.
Beautiful property. Very nice staff. Really cool place. Only complaint I would have is turn that terrible musack off. Do something else. Playing terrible elevator music ruins the environment
