Shepherd’s Run

It was beautiful grounds.

Halls were old and not that clean. More importantly when we entered our room it smelled, not sure of what. The smell would go away but every time we entered the room it was bad.

Good - breakfast had high quality pastry, fruit, yoghurt. Bed linens, room, bathroom. Location convenient but nowhere to walk to for dinner Bad - lack of coffee making in the room, lack of signage makes it tough to navigate on arrival. No staff around to ask. Swimming pool says only open 10-4pm and need to book a lane…guess it’s something to do with not disturbing the spa guests. No restaurant Ugly - noise in the room especially if close to staircase esp at breakfast or from the wine events 7pm onwards, heavy loud doors, bad acoustics, very loud wedding party early mornings - so may want to check if there is one when you are booking 2/5 given this place is for a fist full of dollars. My wife wanted a holiday inn and was proved right once again ;(

Shepherd’s Run has a great gym and pool area, and the rooms are fine but small. What surprised us is that it is essentially a wedding venue rather than a true hotel. Much of the property is devoted to wedding reception areas and a tent. We were told the nearby nature reserve was not accessible by foot and that it was filled with bugs. The winery is not yet open because the vines are so new, so they serve Long Island wines at reception. Our room had one tiny wastebasket next to the toilet, no bottled water, and we were told we could have maid service once during our four night stay. Our stay was fine, but it does feel like you’re in a conference center or wedding venue.

Very very nice

Great property either beautiful outdoor space . Nice pool, conveniently located . Great breakfast
