“The estate's generous grounds, cradling rooms around a pool and bordering a river, feel both classic and thoughtfully arranged. My personal exploration revealed a genuinely welcoming staff and a kitchen that prepares remarkably tasty meals, all while keeping an eye out for the resident hippos. There's an authentic, comfortable feel here, underscored by the simple pleasure of watching wildlife from your room.”
