MAYFAIR EXPERIENCE
Six villa tiers, a suite, a cottage and two room categories
Every category here is unusually large by hill-station standards — the smallest suite runs to forty-six square metres, and the villas past a hundred and thirty. What separates them is not so much size as seclusion: how far you sit from the main building, and what stands outside your window.
Cottages and villas sit apart among the trees. Rooms and suites sit closer to the restaurants, the spa and the casino. Neither is quieter by accident.
The largest accommodation on the estate, and the most private — a hundred and sixty-seven square metres arranged around its own pool, set back far enough into the woodland that the resort becomes something you visit rather than something you are staying in.
A hundred and thirty-three square metres with a private pool of its own, tucked into the trees. The layout separates sleeping from sitting, which matters on the long evenings when the cloud comes down and nobody is going anywhere.
One of the estate's upper villa tiers, set among the trees with its own living space. Exact area and inclusions are confirmed at the time of booking.
A villa in the woodland with a generous living area, for guests who want the seclusion of the estate's edge without the pool villas' scale.
A villa set apart on the hillside, with its own sit-out facing the forest.
The entry into the villa tiers — the privacy of a standalone villa on an estate where that privacy is measured in acres of standing trees.
Forty-six square metres with a private sit-out — the smallest of the suites and the one most often asked for, because the sit-out faces the hills and the price does not reflect that.
Seventy-four square metres laid out for four, with a private sit-out. There are exactly two on the estate, which is worth knowing when planning a family holiday around a school break.
Fifty-one square metres in a cottage set among the trees, with a private balcony. Guests who have stayed in both tend to choose this over the rooms for the balcony alone.
Forty-nine square metres in the newer casino block — the shortest walk to the tables and the restaurants, and the choice for a short stay where convenience beats seclusion.
The most numerous category on the estate at fifty rooms, and forty-nine square metres apiece. The house standard, which at this property is a good deal larger than the phrase usually implies.
