Poorly run

Well... for a start I wasnt told about the £50 security deposit til I arrived to check in. And then was told i had to wait 5-8 days for it back. The fire alarm went off early Sunday morning waking us up, i understand these things happen so we went back to bed, only to be woken yet again by one of your staff knocking at our door wanting to clean the room. Bear in mind checkout was at noon and she knocked just after 9! The hotel is in a great location but sadly the staff let it down.

Very polite and helpful staff. Beautiful property. Wish the pillows were firmer and that the shower did not splash out a lot into the bathroom but this would not deter me from staying again.

Greay stay. Room has everything you need. Perfect location. Staff very friendly. We enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace with a drink, watching the world go by. Only niggle -would have preferred digital tv as opposed to Apple tv which was cumbersome.
