Overall the building and the setting was nice, and the staff were very helpful and friendly and the room was spacious and clean. Unfortunately there were a few things that really let us down for us: 1) The room was quite dated and in need of modernisation. There were no plug sockets anywhere near the bed, the only socket being for a lamp which was not a standard UK plug so it was not possible to charge a phone or anything else anywhere near the bed. 2) We booked this hotel in no small part because we intended to use the tennis courts - these were in very poor condition, one I would say was pretty much unplayable, the other we attempted to play on and slipped over twice. The surface was very worn and covered in moss making it slippery. This was in February, but it was a dry day and shouldn’t have been that slippery had the surface been in reasonable condition. 3) We didn’t use the spa, but we did use the pool which was also quite dated. The steam room and sauna were nice, but the pool was quite busy with children when we were there late Sunday afternoon. Given the marketing as a “spa” if that was the premise I had booked under I would have been disappointed. I noted there are “adult only” times but these were quite off peak times when you probably won’t be using the pool. The photos also suggest there is a hot tub/jacuzzi which it transpires is actually just a corner of the pool which jets so it is the same temperature as the pool and is not a hot tub.

Beautiful surroundings and such lovely staff. Rooms are a bit tired and I don't think, as a lone female traveller, I would stay in the room away from the main building. Next time I will try to say on a higher level near to the main building. All in all a good stay with fabulous staff.
