The Sandhill is a 121-room hotel with guest rooms in a series of cottages, most of which hold 4 guest rooms. The cottages and the main part of the hotel include public areas, large and small event spaces, a classic bar and a restaurant surrounding a large swimming pool.
The Madera Restaurant is a large multi-room dining area in the main building.
Debbie and I stayed a weekend at the hotel and enjoyed breakfast on our first full day having arrived late the night before.
In the main dining room as well as several adjoining more private dining areas there are large windows facing the outside. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. There are circular tables of up to 6, 2 and 4 tops, as well as several banquettes and leather couches.
Debbie started with her usual black coffee and orange juice followed by a dish called Quinoa – Breakfast Potatoes, Scrambled Eggs, Salsa Verde, Tomatoes and onions.
I started with 4 shots of espresso followed by Challah Bread French Toast served with sliced Bananas and Walnuts. (In my view – French toast made with Challah is the best French toast.)
All in, indoor and out, the restaurant seats up to 200 people. The whole place, the hotel proper and the restaurants, exude freshness.
The restrooms servicing the restaurant are in the hotel proper.
As an aside, all of the hotel staff from the reception desk, to the concierges, to the front door staff to the folks managing the restaurant were particularly friendly and helpful.
