Lovely hotel, very clean and staff Lovely. Used the spa which was nice but noticed the ice room needs some TLC (Mosiac tiles everywhere) and the seating in one sauna was broke. Food was high quality and tasty. Pillows were so comfy and the room had high end ELEMIS Toiletries. Overall a great stay.

Lovely hotel .. awful sleep

The hotel itself was perfect . Room was brilliant size , breakfast was good .. spa was amazing.. pool was freezing .. and good course / grounds for a walk were absolutely gorgeous. My only issue was 3rd floor seemed to be full of Children and while I don't mind them .. we had one next door that screamed the walls down for hours on end in the night. A baby id understand but he was 11/12 screaming and shouting at his parents who did nothing and at one point seemed to leave the room Not the hotels fault just don't think I'd put a young couple in the middle of a floor full of kids .

Room was clean and great overall, TV could be upgraded to a smart one really.. Breakfast- not the best. Sausages awful. Not a big selection. What annoyed most is that you have to wait 20min for coffee and tea as theres just one jug each? Terrible… get a few jugs and leave for people to get it themselves and not put a pink haired woman to run around with them, go refill for ages and do it all over again. Wheres logic in that? Where is class, where is customer comfort? Spa treatments overpriced £100 for a massage or £79 with a discount for a back stroke. Steam dangerously overheated, Pool freezing, Sauna’s bench broken, no jacuzzi to chill in. Menu on their website hasn’t been updated, so don’t be surprised to be charged more and have subpar food. No more scallops on the menu and replaced with Bass? Really? Probably the best fish to pick with no nutritional value and over price it. Biggest shock Large glass of red wine Malbec £18 significant difference between a glass of rose £9 20th Jan 9am Male Receptionist Rude, learn some manners and customer service. Overall expectation and reality- disappointing. Would not return or recommend sorry.

Nice hotel and comfy bed. Service is good and the rooms are pleasant with Elemis toiletries. The tea and coffee selection is terrible and you have to go to reception for milk.

Nice place, friendly staff. Very expensive wine for a basic hotel. £18 for a large glass and no bottles of red under £40? Didn't really fit the standard of hotel.
