Southern Sun Ridgeway is beautiful. I’ve been going there for many years. It’s now all been remodeled and updated, which it needed. Sadly, due to Covid, many of the old familiar faces are no longer to be seen. And it seems to me like some of the new staff, at least in dining for example, don’t get “service” as well as they should. But the food is fine and my housekeeper kept my room spotless during my five night stay. It’s quiet and peaceful. I very much recommend it.
