Take the drive - it is worth it. The setting is amazing, the restaurant is wonderful and not as pricey as you may think. You do not have to be a house guest to have breakfast, lunch, dinner or even coffee ...just sit back and enjoy the tranquility , have a wander and soak up the views.

We stayed with our young son between Christmas and New Year. The grounds are impeccable, service is very attentive. The pools are both amazing - what views. Many of the activites that would interest families are free - boche, tennis, croquet, bike riding. The restaurant on site is wonderful. If you stayed a few nights though it would get expensive...

Stayed for business. Wow! I was in a separate building with 6 private rooms but with a shared lounge which looked like it would be a cosy place on a chilly winters night next to the fireplace. Huge verandah looking down the hill. My room OK for single but would have been a little cramped for 2, although there are... More

There's something... More
