Hotel definitely, restaurant not
Beautiful grounds and ambience. The room was awesome and it included a complimentary bottle of wine. Would recommend that guest turn the heat down before bed, otherwise the fireplace will keep coming on and off, and it will wake you up. Would not recommend the hotels restaurant although. Terrible food and the staff appear to be in a zombie state when providing service.

Great property. The only reason it got 4 stars instead of 5 was due to the pool and hot tub being closed for updates/repairs. Definitely would come back

Horrible customer service. After booking months ahead of time, we were not notified that the pool renovations were not completed by date previously communicated and that pool would not be available for use. The day before our trip, I reached out and after I inquired on the pool, only then was I informed that they were not available. The heated pool, spa and sauna was one of the main reasons we booked the hotel for a Family trip on new years. It was New Year's Eve and we couldn't find availability at other hotels - We were stuck with them and they knew it. The customer service and manager did not respond to emails, nor did they attempt to remedy the situation what so ever.
