A lot of care and though has gone into the design of the buildings which are a blend of updated tradition. The bedrooms are... More

“so much for my happy, relaxing experience”

Reviewed May 9, 2013

First of all, I would like to say that we enjoyed the wonderful scenery around Brickyard. 1. Our room was fine with lovely views over the hills but may lack a bit of Chinese characteristic. 2. One of your English-speaking staff sounded so 'dragged out', bored, and unenthusiastic on the phone when I was trying to make a booking. I... More

“Not exactly a "Retreat"”

Reviewed April 27, 2013
