In the cavernous lobby, where half a dozen roaring fireplaces give off the gentle fragrance of burning hickory and high tea is served while a string trio plays, notices offer skeet shooting or trout fishing. There is also horseback riding or jaunts in a surrey, along with bowling, swimming and spa waters...
