My partner and I stayed here for our wedding/honeymoon stay. Cannot fault the service, they were always friendly and helpful, even those that we hadn't yet met seemed to know about the special day. No hiccups with the room or using the property for photos prior to heading out. We indulged in their restaurant almost every night and loved every menu item! Highly recommend making use of the e-bikes, ...

Stunning anniversary surprise! The room was amazing, lovely fireplace and private deck. Huge bathroom! The restaurant was enormous, another big, central fireplace. We enjoyed the wine tasting and cave tour. E-bikes were great, the course was easy for me (not super fit) and stunningly scenic! I hope I'm surprised on many more anniversaries at this beautiful spot!

We had clear skies all weekend and they have been the best stars we have ever se...
