The eggs, coffee, milk, teabags, vase of flowers and bottle of Prosecco on arrival, those little touches were so appreciated. As a group of 5 ladies celebrating our friends 60th birthday, we couldnât have asked for anything better. So good weâve booked a 4 night stay in February. Fabulous views, amazing hot tub, spotless property, with so much space. I CAN NOT RECOMMEND ENOUGH. If you want perfection, attention to detail, Conquer Hall is all you can ask for. Thank you Russell and family.
