Good Estate Stay

helpful staffexcellent servicewild elephantsdry crumble

I found the staff helpful. They provided excellent service . The daily plantation walk with Ansel was educational. I spotted wild elephants in the distance on one occasion.

The set menu , though varied, did not quite match my expectations on certain days. I wish I had more choice. The apple crumble dessert tasted quite dry, with minimal apple filling.
