Very average overall. The hotel and location are good, but the service was inattentive with long waits, particularly at the bar and again at breakfast where there was confusion with orders and delays in being served. There was a general lack of engagement from staff. The food offering was functional but unremarkable. I did not dine in the Michelin-starred restaurant. As a five-star property, charging a high rate for EV charging felt unreasonable. I would not consider this a standout or particularly recommendable stay.

Breakfast location has moved to golf house but found it, attentive staff but not very obvious how to gain breakfast and order. Tracked someone down eventually. Good buffet selection and nice fresh omelette. Room was too warm, temp controls must have been in there somewhere so didn’t sleep well. Lovely location

This was the most delightful hotel stay I have ever had. What a gorgeous property! Rooms were beautiful and immaculate, including blackout curtains and a lovely bathtub. Room service brought a pop-out table! And, we adored the breakfast, sauna, pool, and gym. We sure hope to be back again someday.
