Think of Vanity Fair meets Architectural Digest – then strip away the tension and pretense! Idyllic location, beautifully presented with simultaneously relaxed and professional service and wonderful food. Limited outdoor space on-site but scope for outdoor activities nearby. Perfect for small conference retreats.
