Underwhelming Stay
well maintained groundsflavorless breakfastovercooked halibut
The grounds were nice and well maintained.
The food was not very good and felt overpriced. Breakfast lacked flavor, and dinner in the Eden Restaurant had dry, overcooked halibut. The curry was also uninteresting and had a poor selection of vegetables.

A Charmed Stay!
helpful stafflive musicpowerful light
The grounds offered a great opportunity for a walk! The staff were attentive. They brought our bags up to the room for us. Live music in the lobby provided a nice touch, and the view from the room was fine. The food was gorgeous.
Lighting in the room could have been improved. A powerful main light was absent. There was nothing in the fridge, a minor inconvenience! The thermal suite came with an extra cost, and it did not seem to offer much extra.
Location
9/10
The premises is set back from the urban bustle. A scenic walking trail winds through the estate, presenting opportunities for leisure strolls. Parking is ample, and the hotel grounds provide a safe and pleasing environment.
Service
9/10
Staff greeted me, offering help with luggage directly to the room. Check-in was efficient, and the front desk addressed all inquiries. The concierge provided useful guidance concerning local attractions. Restaurant service felt both professional and timely.
