Everything was exceptional. Very much appreciated the free upgrade. Addy was welcoming and quick to address one very minor issue. Such a beautiful panorama of the water and well maintained grounds. Lovely to sit outside and be visited by George the resident peacock. Beds were very comfortable. Spacious and well equipped. Will definitely stay here again.
