All guest rooms are in a separate courtyard (below right) with en-suite bathrooms and all the usual facilities that our guests would expect. Why not enjoy a special weekend break with a partner or your family or maybe a whole group of friends, like our annual Old School Reunion where people fly in from as far away as Brazil!?
