Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful estate. The majority of the staff is wonderful, friendly, and customer focused. It started with the lovely welcome by Patrick as a first impression after driving up to the estate, and continued throughout our stay with staff at the hound restaurant, the bar, the Club house and of course our first class experience at Lady Helen, which I'm happy to review separately at TripAdvisor. Lady Helen was a truly remarkable evening, both culinary and customer service wise.
Back to the estate:
I'm also calling out Antonio, whom we met multiple times throughout our stay. He is a true asset, and his manorism and friendliness are remarkable. Same for David and last but not least a big thank you to Lisa for addressing our equally hilarious and embarrassing reservation 'Odyssee' with Lady Helen in a very positive, friendly, and professional way.
The room at Hunters Yard was very nice and beautiful decorated, although, personally, I would have loved and appreciated a drawer or at least some shelving. It's quite uncomfortable and messy to life out of 4 suitcases, but this is just as a small suggestion for possible improvement of an already wonderful room.
Breakfast is very nice and offers a sufficient selection, including cooked to order dishes.
As already mentioned, the resort itself is beautiful, and 3 days were not enough to enjoy all they have to offer. It all ended with a beautiful horseback ride along the river this morning.
The only downside was an arrogant Front Office Manager who denied a request to extend our confirmed 12.00pm check out by 15 minutes !
Other than that, we can highly recommend MJEstate and would certainly consider again when we are back in this beautiful part of the world.
