Wonderful stay!

helpful staffcharming surpriseslight inconvenience
My room was a beautiful double room with a bath. It felt spacious. Staff were friendly and helpful (i appreciated that).
The afternoon tea was not in the Spa bar, but in the Shelburne Restaurant. This wasn't a huge problem, but it was a little inconvenient since I specifically booked a spa package.

The swimming pool and spa and relaxation area were fabulous. The pool was long. This is both fantastic and unusual. I also loved visiting the grounds and dining room near the hotel (the setting is beautiful).
