The dining experience, especially in the restaurant, was top-notch and truly enjoyable. However, there were some hiccups with service at times and the air conditioning could use some improvement.

The hotel is indeed a beautiful spot with historical charm and is set in lovely grounds. However, the dining experience leaves room for improvement, as some dishes fell short of expectations. The staff is attentive, but there are gaps in service that detracted from the overall experience. The spa facilities could also use some enhancements to match the five-star rating.
