My stay at this hotel was quite a mixed bag. The historical charm of the building and the beautiful grounds were definitely highlights for me. However, the service posed major issues, particularly the unfriendly staff and the quality of the food, which left a lot to be desired. I also faced problems with the room comfort and bathroom facilities, which was very disappointing.

This hotel is steeped in history, especially with its connection to Baden Powell, and the gardens are beautifully maintained. However, the service fell short during my stay, and the dining experience was disappointing. While the rooms are nice and have a cozy fireplace, other aspects like the shower and bed comfort really need work. Overall, it has potential, but improvements are necessary for a better experience.

Our arrival at Outspan was quite memorable as it carries a lot of history, being the last home of Baden Powell. The gardens were absolutely beautiful and well kept. However, our overall experience was marred by inconsistent service and uncomfortable accommodations. There was a thunderstorm on our first day, which was exciting, but the breakfast service left a lot to be desired, making my stay less enjoyable than I'd hoped.

Staying at this hotel was an experience filled with both charm and frustration. On one hand, the historical significance and beautifully manicured gardens were truly delightful. On the other hand, the service left much to be desired, with unwelcoming staff and poorly managed dining experiences. The cozy rooms offered a nice fireplace, but they lacked some basic comforts. Overall, it's a mixed bag that left me wondering what could have been improved.
