Ok

Room 28 has something like a hand dryer or similar that opperates next door every 20-30mins all night long. Pub was busy and at 7.30pm was advised 1 hour wait for a table, so didnt eat or drink there. Good decor & location breakfast buffet was basic. Ok for the 1 night

Spa facilities and breakfast were great. Beds, pillows were terribly hard and the pillows were also flat. They advertise that Elemis products are in the rooms, well yes, a hair/body wash and a small little lotion. I booked this property as it was my dad's 70th birthday and I wanted to gift him a treatment which was canceled on his birthday and rebooked on the day we were leaving to drive home. He had the treatment but couldn't relax and enjoy the benefits as he had to immediately get in a car to drive.
