I had a mixed experience at the resort. The bar service was fantastic, with attentive staff and a welcoming atmosphere. However, I found the spa services to be overpriced and disappointing, especially considering the quality of the massage I received. The hotel also has limited dining options that could use a bit more variety. Overall, it’s a nice place to enjoy drinks, but I wouldn’t recommend the spa at all.

However, the spa service was less than satisfactory, especially considering the high price point.

I enjoyed my stay at The Umstead, where the ambiance was serene and the service was welcoming. The afternoon tea I had was delightful, with excellent food and a peaceful setting. However, I was a bit disappointed that the restaurant wasn't available for dinner and the spa was fully booked during my visit, which made it feel like I missed out on some key experiences. Overall, it’s a lovely place, but better planning ahead might be necessary.
