The location of the hotel, rooms, staff, spa and breakfast are outstanding. The restaurant in the past several years was outstanding. I was disappointed this year. However, I will return to the beauty and peacefulness of the hotel.

We stayed at the property due to its close proximity to a wedding we were attending. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. The thing that brought down our experience were the ants in our room. They were crawling on the bed and our clothing which was unsettling. While the staff tried to remedy it through cleaning, you’d still wake up with them in the bed.

Lovely stay overall. The setting is beautiful and very relaxing. Breakfast was made to order and consistently excellent, and we really enjoyed the complimentary wine tasting each day at 5:30pm—a lovely touch that added to the experience. The bathrooms, while very clean, could benefit from some modernising and refurbishment. One small note: pool service was a bit slow, and there is a tray charge and tip automatically included with pool drink orders. The amount is minimal, but it would be helpful if this were made clear prior to ordering, or simply included in the drink prices. Overall, a wonderful stay and a place we would happily return to.

Good quiet place to rest and relax. Only minus are the beds, not comfortable at all! They could do with a mattress topper! Other than that, I give a 5 star for everything else.

The Grande Roche is a wonderful place with such kind, happy and thoughtful management and staff. In particular thank you to Marchello, Denai and Veena for making my stay so comfortable - you are wonderful people! The whole vibe is very chilled and friendly. The views out onto the grounds and vineyards are stunning - the landscaping and gardening give a sense of luxury and connection with nature. I really loved the sense of calm. The room was beautful, and the breakfast was delicious with plenty of cooked to order choices, and I will miss dining next to the fire in the evenings - the chef was amazing! Thank you to all the staff at Grande Roche - keep up the amazing work!

Beautiful location

The location is spectacular and the manor house restaurant area and gardens are beautiful. The staff are very friendly but the service at breakfast was slow and unpredictable. The food was good, but you would wait for someone to just take your drinks order. The food also takes quite some time so make sure you are taking a leisurely breakfast.

Seventh visit and always a great experience. Staff were excellent in re-rooming us when the initial room wasn’t getting adequate light. Some modernization still required with some low level work being done on installing solar panels, so will be great to see the finished article once complete. Will certainly be back once again.

We stayed in a duplex room, with a comfy lounge and toilet downstairs, and a bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Lovely touches including coffee machine and tea making facilities, lovely biscuits, water daily and turn down service. Some of the furniture could do with upgrading (wardrobes) and bathroom could do with updating. Breakfast was lovely but service slow. However overall lovely stay and would return.
