A great place to stay even if you were in a tent. The view is incredible.
Food, bar, staff and room was first rate.
Reminded me of a classic Pinehurst Hotel and if has a 1941 golf course.

We stayed at the cottage which was pet friendly, but the cleaning was done well that our allergies didn't act up. We also had a fire place in our room which was a nice treat on a rainy day.
