a magical experience
decor details breakfast hamper
the library room was very nice. its decor details are perfect. we ordered breakfast hampers to be delivered to our room the first two mornings (the presentation was lovely). it included coffee, tea, juice, pastries, yogurt, cereal, and fruit.
there are quite a few stairs to climb to reach the turret room. i also found the noise from the street noticeable in the mornings. it slightly impacted my sleep.

we ate dinner twice at the restaurant, first in the secret garden room and the second time in the main dining room. both rooms are beautiful, with excellent service and food. the restaurant had plenty of choice even for non-meat eaters.
