We had high expectations in the lead up to check in, but these were well exceeded when we arrived at the property. Everything from the location to the facilities, furnishings to the amenities, were faultless. What a truly special place. The Hotelesque team were fantastic to deal with. They were incredibly responsive and accommodating. We will absolutely be back.
