Hard to put into words what a magical experience a trip to this hotel is. You are met on the mainland by superbly helpful drivers, in our case the lovely Nick, or you are taken to the jetty by the unique sea tractor depending on the tide. The minute you arrive at the gate, you are immediately transported into another world of leisure, relaxation, decadence and sheer indulgence. Not a cheap experience by any means, but absolutely worth taking the plunge for as an extravagance to celebrate a special occasion, or to simply soothe frazzled nerves. The setting is beautiful, the hotel is beautiful, an elegant old lady lost in charm and splendour, the food is exquisite, the cocktails amazing and the staff are wonderful. There is both nothing to do and everything to do. We chose to do nothing, but we could have played croquet, swum in the deep and beautiful Mermaid Pool, indulged in a spa treatment or two, or played in the billiard room. Our stay was more sedate ... basically just drinking cocktails all day (hand crafted and the invention of the gorgeous Izzie) and eating the most sumptuous feasts served by Farad and the team. All the while Head of Guest Relations, Simon, kept an eye on proceedings and ensured that we wanted for nothing during our time. We are so very lucky to be able to treat ourselves to such a perfect couple of days. We wish that everyone could have a similar experience. If you are debating whether to splash out on a stay, do it, you will not regret it.
