Wow! I was so surprised to read some of these reviews, it seems so far from my own experience as one of so much fufillment! I stayed 4 nights late March and can say I came away with more than just the experience of wonderful service, delicious food and first class pampering, this place has something special about it that...

I have been visiting authenticity regularly for years. What I love about it is the peace, tranquility and charm in decor that I find here.

I stayed at the spa on a Scoopon, but there were others who had payed full tote, I felt sorry for them.

The booking process almost put us off altogether - disjointed and unorganized and asked for the same information mutlie times. Lovely peaceful grounds and a great old house, but no In room toilets, shared bathrooms, no fridges. Food is all vegetarian and nice though 2 courses were heavily garlic loaded. Breakfast basic and oter than toast or tea all cold... More
