walled garden pristine grounds relaxing atmosphere wonderful staff
my room provided a beautiful view of the walled garden. i found the grounds pristine. i enjoyed a walk exploring the many acres. the atmosphere. i had dinner at the pullman restaurant for my anniversary, it was great. i loved the food and the special dining experience within the original orient express. the staff, tita and thomas, did a wonderful job.
