The property has an array of activities on offer from tennis courts, a beautiful spa, lawn games and a complimentary wine tasting. Rooms are decorated in a glamorous and quirky style but are still luxurious and inviting.

Things to be aware of
While the Mont Rochelle does have two wheelchair-friendly rooms, the property is large and on a hill, and as such the mobility-challenged will find it tricky to enjoy all of the facilities on offer.
The Mont Rochelle welcomes children of all ages and has plenty to keep children entertained.
