Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

Rude staff. Bad location. Extreme overpriced

Rude staff. Very difficult to get hold of reception even if you walked up to their office. They didn’t have irons available in the room or on demand so you basically had to pay them to iron a clothing item and needed to notify them the day before. Over priced compared to other estates in the area with better views, restaurants on site and friendly staff. When I finally tracked down the receptionist she acted like she was doing me a favor by letting me be there. Really nothing positive about this place. Breakfast only served from 8am and staff only starts work at 7am therefore impossible to eat before an early meeting. Do not stay here for work. Pool could be cleaner

Wonderful place

We had a fabulous, albeit short, stay at The Wild Mushroom. From the moment we arrived to the moment we reluctantly left we were made to feel most welcome and encouraged to treat the place as our home. Our room was beautiful, the breakfast was amazing and the outside space, including the lovely pool, is simply stunning.

Die von uns gebuchte Regal Poolsuite liegt in einem vom Haupthaus separatem Gebäude und ist als Hideaway für alle Liebhaber von Privatsphäre die erste Wahl. Beim Frühstück kann aus einer Auswahl von 5 Varianten bestellt werden, davon wechselt jeweils ein Angebot täglich (kein Buffet).

What a Gem

Received a very warm and friendly welcome from Marc on arrival. He outlined a number of things to do in the area during our 2 day stay however relaxing at the hotel by the pool with the great views over the vineyards will take some beating. The room and its location were excellent. The only meal served is breakfast and what a pleasure it was to partake of it. The Hotel and the surrounding area were a pleasure to visit

Schöner Panoramablick

Der Pool mit sehr schöner Aussicht auf die Bergkulisse ist ein Highlight. Nobles Ambiente, Service wird groß geschrieben, bequemes Bett auch für sehr große Menschen. Im Detail kleine Abstriche (kein Kühlschrank in unserem Zimmer, Frühstück a la carte mehr Schein als Sein).

Hotel tres confortable et excellent petit dejeuner

Tres belle chambre ,spacieuse , confortable et bien agencée avec vue sur la campagne environnante . Bon accueil , service professionnel et excellent petit dejeuner . Etablissement à recommander pour visiter la region des vignobles . Un petit bémol toutefois : la situation même de l'hotel dans un lotissement de luxe . De par sa qualité il mériterait un plus grand espace extérieur privé

Very nice hotel near wineries

Beautiful rooms and breatfast was excellent. The only reason I didn't give 5 was because carpet was poorly fitted and 2 lights did not work. Need own transportation to get anywhere. We were recommended 2 very nice restaurants for dinner
