So traveling with 3 kids is not romantic and doesn't usually allow for a lot of personal space.
I wanted a place within walking distance of the market area and coast. Most hotels in this area could not accommodate 5 guests in one room, it was Wentworth or one other until the kids saw the pictures and said they were staying at the "big house"!
I believe Wentworth Mansion could have accommodated any request we had. We stayed in the Grand Mansion Suite, beautiful room, comfortable furnishings, great ambiance and WONDERFUL staff! I felt so sorry for the front desk help as they stood every time our door was opened. With 5 of us, that door was opened often.
The wait staff at Circa 1886 was equally accommodating. As 3 young children can be demanding and fickle, our server was pleasant and promptly delivered every request.
So fun for kids? They played tag in the courtyard, picked up seeds from the "unusual" plants, tried to pick flowers, computer time in the library, got to walk onto the roof of a house, walked up and down every step available, rode the elevator up and down, each sat in the whirlpool, wore the cushy robes while drinking their complimentary Sprite from wine glasses as they sat in front of the fireplace enjoying the classical music with the crystal chandeliers dimmed. What kid wouldn't love all that!?!
I will visit again, without the kids!
