“The grounds here are truly something else, with a sense of arriving somewhere quite special. While some of the bathrooms show their age, the overall atmosphere and the genuinely helpful staff make for a comfortable and appreciated stay, particularly when celebrating an occasion. The Brasserie presents a well-executed menu, though one does pay a premium for the ambiance, as one might expect.”
