We stayed 2 nights and loved it and wish we'd stayed longer. Its well worth the visit. We were not expecting to be so won over by the beauty of the place. The gardens are so other worldly and the spa on the edge of the clifftop is devine if a bit unnerving at first. They keep the kitchen stocked... More
