    No fire place in the room. No view from the room, blocked by an unnecessary wooden fence.

    I didn't like that there was a coffee plunger in the room that I had to basically roast my own coffee. Instant coffee would have been preferred.

    The place was clean and tidy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was really good. I really like this location it is away from everything, I really enjoyed the peace and quiet.

    Unfortunately, our view was blocked by a wooden fence. Not a major issue, as we spent a lot of time at the Grillroom restaurant and the Pizza place onsite. My only complaints relate to The Grillroom Restaurant. Both nights we were there, certain menu items were unavailable. I can understand that it could be difficult to cater for everything, especially during the week. However, then they should give less options and ensure everything is available. The first morning we arrived for breakfast around 9:15. Even though they said BF would be available till 10, they started clearing the buffet as we walked in. We then ordered from the menu, which was good but the portions were quite small. Especially the health breakfast. The last complaint was the fact that they ran out of red wine. We couldn't do a wine tasting, and couldn't even order red wine with dinner! On a wine farm....?

    We had a lovely stay. Very friendly staff, beautiful location. Comfortable, big room.

    The room was disappointing for the price. I couldn't sleep in the double bed, it was so, VERY uncomfortable. Just having a 30min rest on it gave me a sore back. Luckily we had been given a room with 2 single beds so my daughter and I could sleep on one each. Those beds were better, but still not great. The bathroom was also disappointing. I asked for a bath, but it was so tiny, neither my 6ft daughter nor I couldn't enjoy a relaxing bath at all. I was also sad to have a room at the back of the building with no view at all. I chose the venue, especially because of the views.

    The food was wonderful. The staff were exceptional. All of them, but Steward, a new employee, was particularly wonderful and went over and above, to make us feel welcome.
