    The cost of food.

    The mansion is beautiful and staff were really helpful and friendly. The checking in process was slow but feel this was due to buggy instructions.

    The check in person did not explain anything to us besides making us watch a golf car safety video so we ended up trying to figure out everything ourself wasting time we were planning to enjoy. It was not very clear what is included/not included with breakfast. We were never offered juice or any coffee/tea refills, neither the toast which was included.

    All the staff was very nice and helpful except for the check in lady who didn't seem to be bothered welcoming us or explaining anything to us.

    The green light in the ceiling of all rooms in the Charlie Chaplin suite - not helpful for sleeping. If we could have had the golf buggy for longer on the day of checkout that would have been really helpful - they weren't super busy.

    We booked a treat as have two birthdays in December. My husband, me and my son stayed at the hotel and enjoyed the reserve. Customer service was really good and the room we had was just lovely, very clean and the most amazing bath that you could lie down in - a bonus for tall people! We had breakfast included as part of our package and it was delicious. As part of the stay, we had entry to the reserve on the day of check in and also on the day of check out - you could choose Howlett's if you wanted instead - the use of a golf buggy during our stay and an included safari ride. We took advantage of the black Friday deal and got up close and personal to a rather gorgeous rhino - the keeper was so knowledgeable and friendly and clearly enjoyed his interaction with the animals. All in all an amazing experience and we would love to go back. Thank you also to the hotel for recognising our two birthdays and putting birthday cards in our room - a very nice touch!

    Absolutely stunning hotel. Beautiful grounds and great view from the veranda. Great rooms, beautifully decorated and maintained over the years. We gad a beautiful room and very much inkeeping with the age of the house. Delicious food in the garden restaurant, friendly staff and spotlessly clean.

    I cannot add anything to this section as we couldn't find anything over the 2 days we spent there. A truly amazing experience.

    When we arrived to the gated entrance we were met by a gentleman who asked our name and immediately followed on with "You are in for a treat". And was he right. We were guided to the dedicated car park for the mansion and from that point, we were guided by all members of staff who were informative, willing to help, happy in their role and nothing was too much. We ate at the BabyDolls restaurant that was Italian themed. We ate Pizza's that were one of the best we ever had. Again the service was exceptional. We stayed in the Philip Sassoon suite with a 4 poster bed, a room for changing that my wife now wants and a very ornate bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very peaceful. Highly recommended. We ate breakfast in the Garden room that set us up for the whole day. Also included in the room price was Howletts Wild Animal park that was about 12 hour drive away. Again an exceptional place and the staff were happy to help where needed. Honestly I would highly recommend and will be visiting again. So many options for overnight stays.
