No doubt the grounds and our suite was wonderful, the fireplace was a lovely touch. There were too many small things that went wrong which ended up making it an annoying and bad experience. Breakfast team took at least 40 minutes after opening to get coffee, toaster etc going after announced opening time to the frustration of many clients who had outdoor activities planned. Apparently this establishment does not serve butter... just margerine. No coffee service.There was no quiet place for other clients who were drowned out by a large extremely noisy group. Details in the rather costly suite : one mattress had a dent in it compared to other mattress... making it a slopiey experience. My pan seared fish was raw...which I sent back. husband ate his dinner alone - new fish took half an hour. I left grumpy and disappointed. Could not get away sooner..

The room was beautiful with 2 French doors overlooking the grounds and lawn. Nighttime service included turndown, lighted fireplace (if desired), and an old-style hot-water bottle as there is no central heating or cooling. I kept the French doors open at night for the pleasant air and the sound of distant birds and animals. Of particular note is the animal orphanage as part of the complex. Great experience to see, pet, and feed many of the animals while learning about the hotel's conservation efforts. Meals were bountiful, although dinner entrees, while fine, were not noteworthy.
