Perfekter Ort zum entspannen und mal nichts zu tun.

9.0

Wunderbare Lage inmitten vom Weingebiet bei Blenheim. Das Hotel hat eine sehr spannende Geschichte, welche gut dokumentiert ist. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich. Das ganze Hotel ist einzigartig und toll eingerichtet. Die gesamte Gartenanlage sehr schön gestaltet und für Hotelgäste frei zugänglich (inklusive vom Restaurant genutzten Gemüsegarten). Der aussen Swimmingpool hat konstant 28 Grad und ist durch Hecken vom Hotel her nicht einsehbar und dadurch wie eine kleine Oase.

Incredible property surrounded by amazing gardens and vineyards. Rooms are lovely and attention to every detail is taken. Don’t miss dinner at the on-site restaurant, it’s equally as incredible as the property and staff.
