Guest Reviews

• Michael (8/5): Really a pleasant and comfortable experience and stay. - The history! The location was fantastic the history of the buildings was interesting to hear. The decor is fitting and appropriate to the historical background and the rooms were well furnished and comfortable What’s not to like about this property !
• Qotoyi (10/5): - The host, their breakfast, comfortable beds, and the view. Nothing
• Cornelia (10/5): Einfach toll. - Das ist ein wirklich wunderschönes Anwesen, mit ganz viel Liebe und Geschmack dekoriert. Ruhig, mit wunderschönen grossen Eichen und lauschigen Sitzecken. Man fühlt sich in eine andere Zeit versetzt .... Sehr netter Empfang und netter Gastgeber :) Es war richtig schön auf der Terrasse zu sitzen, zu frühstücken und einfach mal "da zu sein".
• Robert (9/5): - Historic property. Quiet location. Great views. Opportunity to walk /run around vineyard. GPS directions do not give best route to property.
• Nikolay (10/5): -
• Brendon (4/5): Not quite there - Location is great. Too much money for the place, there were things that were broken and the breakfast was a continental and a bit sub par. Bed was a bit lopsided
• Tatianka13 (1/5): Theft in hotel! - Природа. Наша группа остановилась на 2 ночи на новогодние праздники. Наших гостей обокрали в этом отеле. Из 2 номеров пропали деньги 💸 на сумму более 1000$. На решение вызвать полицию менеджер предложил свое решение - самостоятельно разобраться и выяснить, даже взял у гостей данные паспортов и контакты. Ни какой обратной связи не получили и на наши вопросы в ответ тишина. Также не ответили на претензию, отправленную на указанный менеджером электронный адрес. Скорее всего фальшивый. Мы никому не рекомендуем здесь останавливаться. Воровство и безнаказанность.
• Dan Widdowson (5/5): Has huge potential, not great right now - Authentic cape farm from the 1800s - lots of history, interesting architecture, very different to most accomodation in SA. We stayed in 'Villa' at the rear of the property - a large living area with a comfortable sitting area and adequate kitchen for basics. Bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and each had their own shower room. The solid brick buildings were cool despite the warm weather. Dewald, the custodian of the property showed us around at length and was very keen to help. Our family of 4 were split with some not liking the older, rustic style of the property. We were told that the property had very recently changed hands and was in the process of undergoing extensive improvement. Several things in the Villa were not ok (loose washbasin, poorly sealing French doors, brown watet) but we were told that these were all to be rectified shortly. The swimming pool was dark and unappealing. The breakfast was basic and we had to go out for an additional breakfast instead. Reasons for optimism for future guests but not great for us, hence our low rating - in its current state it wasn't worth what we paid. Also this is advertised as Stellenbosh but take care as the town is some 35 minutes drive away. The location is actually closer to the northern suburbs.
• Estelle (10/5): -
• joanne (10/5): Another wonderful stay. Thank you - Beautiful peaceful well maintained property Nothing to dislike
• Stanislav (10/5): - I highly recommend this place. Everything here is beautiful. If you like places with history, you should definitely come here. Stunning antique furniture, stunning nature, breathtaking views. Everything in the rooms is thought out to the smallest detail. Thank you to the hosts for their hospitality.
• Riccardo (2/5): - Good location only 0.5 hours from Stellenbosch. No electricity in the room for almost the entire stay. This does not work well when travelling South Africa. Staff was very unhelpful in finding a solution; suggested asking for a partial refund through Booking after the stay, and later reneged.
• John - Mark (10/5): -
• Frans (9/5): Even zieken maar dan heb je ook wat - Locatie -
• V Vuuren (10/5): -
• Peter (8/5): -
• Patricia (4/5): Disappointing.. owner needs to upgrade and Management needs to manage -all areas besides the lovely roast chicken dinne - Beautiful Main house The back rooms /the access to the annexe was shabby . Gardens untidy .on arrival the patio needed a-good clean - very dusty/dead plants in pots .. peeling paint .. empty flower pot filled with sand only- one room floor paint peeling -no attempt to improve look for arrival . After complaining-then there were workers in the garden . I removed the “dead sandy pot plant “ From the room . The tea/coffee not restocked
• Gilles (7/5): - Très belle maison ancienne de charme dans belle propriété et accueil très chaleureux. Les bâtiments et les jardins sont un peu défraîchis et, pour le prix demandé, ils mériteraient d’être rafraîchis et mieux entretenus .
• Jason (5/5): I’m sure this will be a lovely property when completed - It’s a lovely main house however that’s about it and I know this is a project however should state that when booking Only the main house is completed the apartments whilst well appointed internally are in disrepair externally along with the gardens being poorly maintained and the pool could not be used as was filthy
• Muller (2/5): Tyhe experience was a horror. I left on the 2nd morning as I could not face another day - Basically every aspect of our stay and use of the facilities as well as the service of the staff was appalling. Please see my ratings above . The property is in a shocking state of repair. The staff are unfriendly and incompetent, The rooms are not secure= cannot lock. The water supply is erratic. Some fittings in bathroom are missing and/or defective, The gardens are unkept, The coffee is undrinkable .etc etc
• Johannes (5/5): - An sich eine schöne Unterkunft, Kochmöglichkeiten zur Selbstverpflegung in der Villa. Personal wenig motiviert. Zuerst wurden wir gebeten bis 24 h vor Anreise anzugeben, ob wir ein Abendessen wünschen. Wir hätten es gerne in Anspruch genommen, weil in der näheren Umgebung keine Möglichkeit gibt essen zu gehen. Am Tag vorher wurde es von der Unterkunft abgesagt. Leider ist die Anlage sehr in die Jahre gekommen und wenig gepflegt.
• John (8/5): Very good -
• Sieglinde (10/5): uralte Farm in idyllischen Gärten (genialer Blick bis zum Tafelberg) - und so herzlich. Genial! - Zimmer ist wie eine kleine Suite gebaut, sehr heimelig. Empfang wehr familiär (Eingang durch die Küche), uraltes Anwesen mit herrlich alten Bäumen, schönen Sichtachsen, einem Seerosenteich und zusätzlich Swimming Pool. Unerwartet haben wir sogar Abendessen bekommen, sehr gut (wie auch das Frühstück) - und sehr gesellig ist das geworden. -
• Louis (2/5): A disaster! Dirty, old, rude staff - The location is not too bad - extremely dirty rooms (see pictures) - the pool water is muddy. It is so dirty that we can’t see through it (see pictures) - whole property is poorly maintained, the garden is a mess and the buildings as well
• Claudia (1/5): -
• heiko (7/5): - Sehr schön gelegen ca. 18 km außerhalb Stellenbosch. Zimmer war dann doch renovierungsbedürftig insbesondere das Bad
• Delfinita (7/5): Nice but expected more - Big room with comfortable bed. Beautiful view from the main terrace having breakfast over the reflection pool and the vineyards Willy is great and staff was very friendly No air condition in the room, just a fan. When we were there, it had 41 degrees (mid of March). No real dinner offering There was a big group of >20 people having a party which was quite disturbing No chairs or table in front of the room (little terrace) Cleaning was not done properly
• Viktor (8/5): -
• Robert (8/5): - Not our first visit and we will return. The staff are lovely and it's a very pretty house and farm.
• Aleksei (10/5): -
• Craig (8/5): Comfortable and tranquil, lot’s of history. - Great location, very friendly staff, tranquil, comfortable room. The shower leaked and flooded the kitchenette. The washer in the basin was non-existent, it did not hold water. The place is a bit rundown. I think you need more hanging space for longer dresses and more plug points.
• Jean-Marc (9/5): -
• Berit (9/5): -
• Berit (9/5): -
• Diana (10/5): Paisible, charmant et authentique - L’emplacement , l’histoire de l’établissement, les vues, la chambre, salle de bain et jardins. Le personnel formidable et le petit déjeuner de qualité La route en terre pour joindre le domaine et des petits panneaux signalétiques pour aller aux chambres qui manquent.
• Doris (9/5): - Tres bon accueil, belke chambre, petit dejeuner tres agreable sur la terrasse
• Debby (7/5): Leuk rustig verblijf op 40 minuten van het centrum van Stellenbosch - Rustige ligging en het maken house was echt schitterend authentiek Onze kamer was verouderd. Er zaten scheuren in de leren stoelen. Er was geen airco alleen een fan. Veel last van muggen gehad
• Jürgen (5/5): -
• Caroline (9/5): Great hosts, goes out their way to make you comfortable. Would definitely recommend this establishment. - The cleanliness, tranquility and warm friendly staff Water in my room did not heat up
• Dmitrii (10/5): Просто невероятный опыт! - Очень приветливый персонал. Умопомрачительные виды. У гостевого дома есть своя история , еще с 1762 года. Такое ощущение , что ты отдыхаешь в замке или в фильме. Все было отлично
• Tobias (9/5): - Tolles Anwesen Ein WLAN Repeater, um die etwas abgelegeneren Zimmer mit Internet zu versorgen wäre schön.
• Ludwig (8/5): Schön, dass es so etwas noch gibt! - Wer einen Smart- TV und einen Schickimicki- Pool benötigt liegt hier falsch. Hier sind die Türen und Fenster etwas schief, klemmen manchmal und das Leitungswasser hat einen leicht gelblichen Schein. Aber das Haus/ die Nebenhäuser sind absolut charmant und man fühlt sich in alte Zeiten zurückversetzt in denen man sich noch unterhielt oder las. Ein traumhaft schönes Kleinod mit einem herrlichen Garten. Sehr freundliches Personal. Gutes Frühstück. Das Bett war nur 1,40 cm breit- das sind wir nicht mehr gewohnt. Liegt aber wohl an dem Zimmer(?)
• Thomas (7/5): -
• Karen (9/5): Lovely sunset view of Table Mountain - Lots of character and charm.
• Juliette (10/5): -
• Wendelyn (8/5): -
• Wendelyn (8/5): - Prachtige oude gebouwen, nog in de stijl van 1800. En zeer vriendelijk personeel. Schitterende tuin. De kamers waren erg warm, geen airco. De gebouwen hebben onderhoud nodig
• Heike (3/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und es ist eine sehr ruhige lage Wir waren bereits vor Jahren in diesem Haus. Da es uns gut gefallen hat haben wir es wieder gebucht. Es war leider das letzte mal. Es ist schmuddelig, in die Jahre gekommen . Kaputte Möbel, ein poolbreich der nicht zum Entspannen einlädt. Schade, denn das Haus ist ein Traum, wenn man es pflegt und sich darum kümmert. ...dann wäre es auch kein Problem das man abseits im nirgendwo wohnt, aber so ....Kommen wir bestimmt nicht wieder Schade
• Frank (9/5): Authentiek betaalbaar en gezellig - Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Goed ontbijt. Gezellig terras. De aanduiding naar de bestemming.
• Norma (8/5): - Beautiful old listed farm house and property. Lovely breakfast well served. Our bathroom could do with a renovation. The shower in our en suite was rather out of date. The expansive gardens were sadly overgrown and in need of attention
• karen (4/5): Shabby Chic - The manager William. Without his warm spirit we would have left as soon as we arrived. Good breakfast provided by friendly staff. The history of the property was what interested us originally and the views were spectacular. Clean towels and bedding. Dilapidated bathrooms with disgusting wooden toilet seat that didn’t look clean. Extremely Poor lighting in rooms. The pillows needed renewing. In general the place looked like it needs a lot of TLC. Our room had a nice marble coffee table but the legs were not substantial enough to hold it. No catering facilities (evenings)so you are totally reliant on travelling to Stellanbosch to eat Your photos on booking.com are very misleading
• Marine (10/5): A bliss in the Eden garden - The house is gorgeous Some customers very prompt to complain loudly Not your fault haha
• Sokoni (10/5): Beautiful and comfortable. Very therapeutic. - Extremely beautiful and serene Far from main town
• Paulina (7/5): - room was confutable place a bit negleted
• Rees (8/5): -
• Les Savutis (10/5): - Nous avons aimé le cadre, la maison et la chambre, spacieuse, bien équipée, triple expositions. Très bon petit déjeuner sur la terrasse avec une superbe vue. Willy nous a très bien accueillis. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour Il manquait les cintres dans la penderie 😂.
• Igor (10/5): - Старинное поместье с красивейшим садом, не уступает по красоте многим винодельням! Атмосфера завораживает, оттуда не хотелось уезжать: эстетика и умиротворение 😌 Не все номера одинаково хороши
• Zuzanna (10/5): -
• Weaver (8/5): Lovely stay in the winelands - Secluded and quiet. Lovely big room. Staff were attentive. A bit further from Stellenbosch/Franshoek than we had planned but Uber was available
• Hannele (6/5): -
• nojdavison (8/5): - This a historic property and has retained its old world charm whilst still providing modern comforts
• sabri (9/5): -
• Lotta Farber (3/5): Wouldn’t Recommend - The room was large and the bathroom was clean and large as well. But apart from this, most of everything else at this place was pretty much a disappointment. My husband and I needed help with bringing our suitcase/luggage into the main manor. The staff wasn’t present, and after we followed up walking around the place and finding him, he was on the phone (almost the entire time we stayed there too) and was almost reluctant to help us with it. After that, there was a full power cut, with no back-up at all. This also meant, for some reason, that there was no water - not for showers, not for flushing the toilet, not to wash hands. We couldn't use the loo or bathe or anything because of this! Sorry for the TMI! There was just 1 fan with a short cord in that large room, and the plug unit for it was only on one side of the bed. So two people on a summer night could not feel the breeze of the short-leashed fan that only served 1 person, who’s side it was on. And this was only when the electricity worked for a short while. Breakfast was extremely average, the most disappointing meal we had, thru our entire stay in South Africa (because food in this country was otherwise amazing everywhere else). It was like having a very cheap and limited, backpackers' style free breakfast at a random asian hole-in-the-wall in the Philippines or something. And of course, we lugged our suitcases back thru sand and gravel back to the car ourselves, because the caretaker was on his phone and too busy to help out. Extremely disappointed with all of it really.
• Lucky (10/5): -
• angélique (9/5): Lieu authentique avec une vue et un jardin magnifiques - Un lieu authentique hors du temps avec une vue sur table Mountain, un jardin magnifique et un GM et du personnel aux petits soins. On adore Rien
• Lydia (9/5): -
• Tamara (1/5): - when we arrived, our room had an extremely dirty and non-functioning toilet, which clearly shows that it had not been cleaned or properly checked. In addition, brown and dirty water was coming out of the tap. When we contacted the administrator, he said they were trying to fix the issue, but there would be no water that day. As a result, we had to look for another hotel and move out. The administrator told us that we would be able to get a refund through Booking, since we had to pay for another hotel and did not use the room at all. However, when we requested the refund, the hotel rejected it. We feel deceived and left with a very unpleasant impression, even though the location itself is beautiful.
• Anja (10/5): Ein kleines Paradies - Das Ambiente. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und gästeorientiert.
• Anne Kathrin (9/5): - Es handelt sich um ein liebevoll erhaltendes englisches Landhaus, welches mit viel Liebe fürs Detail geführt wird. Das Personal ist super zuvorkommend und freundlich. Dieser Ort ist perfekt um ein paar Tage zu entspannen und den Alltag hinter sich zu lassen.
• Silvana (8/5): Prachtig oud landgoed, wel vergane glorie, wat ver van alles, toch bijzondere plek om te verblijven. - De locatie viel ietsje tegen. We dachten dat het echt tussen de wijnvelden lag, maar van het wijnbedrijf is niet veel meer te merken hier; vergane glorie. De afstand naar de andere wijnhuizen en het dorp Stellenbosch is toch nog wel 20-25 minuten met de auto, dat was wat jammer (ik had van te voren beter moeten kijken naar de afstanden). Wij verbleven in de Villa + 1 hotelkamer ernaast, wel heel sfeervol maar erg oud en gedateerd allemaal. Als je het raam of een deur wilde openen, was je bang dat het eruit zou vallen (veel achterstallig onderhoud), maar wel echt sfeervol. De villa was onvoldoende uitgerust om zelf een volwaardige maaltijd te kunnen bereiden. Een soort campinggasstel met 2 pitten en ook geen vaatwasser (heel onhandige kleine wasbak). Ook te weinig borden, bestek, pannen, glazen en ander keukengerei. Dus we moesten steeds naar het restaurant om dingen te halen. dit ging prima, geen probleem. De tuin van het landgoed is prachtig, maar ook erg verwaarloosd. Veel planten waren dood doordat ze geen water hadden gehad. Ik denk dat het teveel is voor de eigenaar/personeel om alles bij te houden of erin te investeren. Super jammer want de sfeer is wel heel leuk en prachtig om in zo'n oud landgoed te verblijven! Personeel was vriendelijk en correct en de kamers waren schoon met fijne bedden en mooi beddengoed. Veel achterstallig onderhoud. De uitrusting van de villa was onvoldoende om te koken en te eten. De tuin is prachtig, maar slecht onderhouden, echt heel jammer.
• Xolisw (9/5): -
• Mykhaylo (6/5): -
• Antonia (10/5): Beautiful manor, wonderful stay. - Loved this place. Amazing manor, extremely comepetent staff and great food.
• Dewald (10/5): -
• christophe (6/5): globalement très agréable même si petites défaillances de propreté - joli environnement, jolie vue sur la campagne, grand jardin La douche est restée bouchée pendant 3 jours malgré nos demandes ; nid de guêpes à la fenêtre de la salle de bains n'a pas été enlevé ; pas de rideau à la porte d'entrée, d'où réveil à 5h du matin par le jour (le rideau demandé n'a jamais été installé) ; fenêtres de la chambre et de la salle de bains pas nettoyées.
• MMAKUTU (10/5): -
• Johanna (10/5): -
• Julia (9/5): Heerlijk bijkomen op een fantastische plek. - De rust was geweldig en het personeel is niet normaal behulpzaam! Er was niets dat niet beviel. Het is misschien wat verder weg van de meeste ‘attracties’ maar voor ons was dat prima.
• FABRINI (10/5): Excepcional - Local maravilhoso. Uma hospedagem com história e arte. Conforto, privacidade, beleza local ( vistas deslumbrantes). Roupa de cama e banho impecáveis, café da manhã excelente. Gostamos de tudo.
• Renee (9/5): Serene and spacious. Super-helpful staff. - Magnificently warm and willing team. Generous, high quality breakfast spreads. The spacious communal areas (both indoors and outdoors) were a delight for our family of twelve adults to enjoy a relaxed and convivial 3 days together. The views over the valley from the main house provided perfect vantage points from which to appreciate birds in flight and the tranquillity of dusk and dawn. As may be expected from such old buildings, some of the bedrooms retained a musty smell.
• Patience (8/5): - Tranquility The place could be painted to look more attractive in the back houses not only focus in the main house
• Dias (8/5): - The people were very helpful and hospitable,it was a great atmosphere and we met new people from various countries
• FRANCESCA (8/5): An ideally located place to visit Franschoek and Stellenbosh - The views from the property were incredible - it was a quiet and romantic place to stay and perfectly located to visit wineries in Franschoek and Stellenbosh. The hotel is undergoing a sale so it requires a little TLC such as a pool cleaning.
• Mariya (9/5): Очень красивое место для релакса - Потрясающе красивое историческое здание отеля! Все вещи здесь с огромной историей: старинные картины на стенах, серванты с тарелками, буфеты, шкафы, все выглядит абсолютно потрясающе как будто вы снова в 19 веке) У нас был French room в отдельном здании: своя большая терраса, ванная комната с душем и ретро ванной с окном, спальня в классическом стиле. В номере есть чайник, чай, кофе. Чисто, все убрано. Очень тихое спокойное место для настоящего релакса с красивым видом, приятно посидеть на террасе и смотреть на сад. Хороший завтрак: яйца с беконом, йогурт, мюсли, хлопья, выпечка, фрукты, чай, кофе, сок. Очень дружеская атмосфера, гости сидят за одним столом как большая семья) Нужно учитывать некоторые нюансы при проживании здесь: В номере нет холодильника, фена для волос и кондиционера (есть вентилятор). Wi-Fi только в главном доме, в отельностоящих номерах его нет, если это важно для вас, то стоит заранее договориться о номере, т.к. мы бронировали комнату в основном доме, но жили по факту в другом. В отеле нет резервного питания, утром были перебои с электричеством, в это время также в номере нет воды, т.к. она подается через насос, но в целом примерно через час все было восстановлено.
• Daniela (8/5): -
• Richard (7/5): Comfortable homely accommodation in the middle of the Cape Winelands - Lovely spacious room with an old farm house feel. Despite the heat outside the very thick walls kept the room cool. Bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. The breakfast was also very good. Lovely surrounding scenery and the location was quiet and very convenient for a wedding we attended in a nearby wine estate. We would have liked a little fridge in the room.
• Kcenia (8/5): Estadia bastante agradável - Gostei muito das instalações, apesar de bem antigas. Os ambientes são amplos, móveis sólidos, roupa de cama macia, de boa qualidade. Equipe muito gentil e atenciosa. A fazenda fica num lugar lindo... Quando chegamos fomos recepcionados por um coelho, que corria livre pelos campos... O café da manhã poderia ser mais variado e farto. Apesar de ter gostado não posso deixar de observar que existem pontos a ser melhorados, o que não desmerece a estadia. Alguns espaços precisam ser restaurados, assim como a piscina e o tanque de peixes, e os móveis externos também. É um lugar belíssimo, de grande potencial, que merece cuidados.
• Olga (5/5): Disappointing service - Everything is great except of mistake of staffs. They tried to accommodate our male guests in one room instead of booked and paid 2 rooms.🤔 And they told our guest that was booked one room. What was not true. Of course we decided. Next time they gave us double room instead of twin room. It was mistake of manager. To many mistakes last time. We'd wish more professional work from staff.
• Dries (1/5): Avoid it - Nothing Everything. It is run down and old and the facility and properly is in serious need of maintenance.
• Lukas (9/5): -
• Andrew (9/5): - Stunning setting- great ambience- staff suoerb Please buy some decent pillows
• Zandy (10/5): - The Views and the comfort in the room Meals not so great but the heart of service from the team was amazing very hospitable and loving, smilling and friendly all the time.
• Candice (10/5): - Amazing stay, wonderful breakfast, staff are amazing, location is beautiful
• Igor (8/5): На группу только Виллу! - Вилла просторна и хороша. Камин супер. Приятная старина. Заселили в 19 часов. Завтрак достатается шустрым. Остальным остатки. Но все здорово!
• Olivia (10/5): Beautiful and tranquil place - A wonderful place to stay. Delicious breakfast. Dinner on offer if you wanted it. Fridge and coffee / tea facilities in room. My room was huge and beautiful with a lovely bathroom as well. Beautiful views out of the many windows onto the lovely gardens. The view from the house and the pool was also stunning. Beautiful decorations in my room and the house. Very friendly helpful staff. Generally just a really comfortable, beautiful and relaxing place to spend a few days not doing much more than reading a book and lying in the sun. Would 100% recommend. Can't think of anything that needed improving on it was great.
• Aphiwe (8/5): Perfect for a countryside getaway - We had such a lovely stay at Hawksmoor House. I really enjoyed how rustic and serene it was. The staff were also very kind and attentive. We had an issue with our shower being blocked but I was made aware that they are in the process of renovating.
• Krianka (3/5): Bad accommodation at Hawksmoor - The location and the history of the place. Beautiful surroundings. Fair breakfast. Facilities in the room needs major upgrade, especially the bathroom. Said it had aircons, there was none. Although there were fans. Dirty windows. Areas around the rooms, unswept and not washed and clean. Light fittings inside and out not working and filthy. One of the rooms without a hairdryer. Bugs were out of control in the rooms, couldn't open the windows at all due to that. Outside, the cushioned seats were filthy and wet. Nothing is removed in the evenings at all, just left outside to rot. Flower beds and trees etc not well kept at all. Place is not welcoming at all. Parking bays looks abandoned, not well lit as well. Lots of work needs to get done on the entire property in order for a 4 star rating. That 4 star rating must be removed. It is false advertising. I had to leave a day earlier because we couldn't stand another uncomfortable night there. The sand road leading to the establishment needs alot of attention. Perhaps a tiny gravel strewn road would be the way forward in keeping with the look of the buildings and the place. Such a beautiful place but sorely neglected.
• CarolineFRodrigues (9/5): A Equipe que nos atendeu fez diferença para que tivéssemos a experiência que tivemos. - O Hawksmoor House tem a vista de pôr do sol mais bonita que vimos em toda a viagem. Trata-se de uma propriedade histórica, acolhedora, confortável e extremamente tranquila. A equipe que nos atendeu foi maravilhosa: educada, solicita e sempre pronta a ajudar da melhor forma. O kit de amenities também é muito bom. O café da manhã é bem servido e completo, e o jantar foi uma verdadeira delícia — preparado com ingredientes frescos da região, saborosos. Uma refeição acolhedora era exatamente o tipo de refeição que estávamos precisando. Por ser uma casa de 1810, sentimos que alguns elementos já pedem renovação, como as cortinas com blackout descascando e algumas poltronas externas. Nada que atrapalhe a experiência, mas detalhes que fazem diferença. A propriedade é realmente especial e, com um pequeno investimento em decoração e manutenção dos jardins, pode se tornar ainda mais incrível.
