This sprawling resort has a split personality: a charming 18th-century ivy-clad main house and a modern extension opposite featuring bedrooms and a maze of corridors. Grand chandeliers, wall-length tapestries and vintage furniture grace the house. Bedrooms are contemporary in style and facilities top-notch. The vibe is buzzy and relaxed.
Service is impressive and the staff are highly trained. Check-in is friendly and professional, and we were escorted to our room. Later on, a concierge provides us with an interesting history of the hotel. Activities include a three-hole golf course, tennis, nature trail, jogging track, croquet, board games and DVD library.
