Good but not excellent

Hotel in a great location, bed comfort along with sofa comfort very poor. Well used ! Water pressure poor in the shower. Hotel very clean with friendly service and the Bentley car is a great touch for being dropped off anywhere local, spa bar a great touch.being charged £12 per day for car parking when you don’t book direct is a charge too far. Breakfast good but you have to be clear with the breakfast staff to avoid confusion.

It’s ok

Our stay was ok. It was a lovely hotel with fantastic customer service but we were disappointed with the Spa being open to kids and quite a lot at the same time. Kids were playing in the plunge pool and hot tubs which made it difficult to relax and ruined our stay as we were only allowed to use the facilitates the same time as kids. This became an issue in the changing rooms too as the locker area is very small. We probably wouldn’t revisit and I’d definitely opt for kid-free spa’s now.

The staff wer exceptional, the room and jacuzzi wer perfection and breakfast was great too! My only complaint would be there was no smoking allowed on the bar terrace, they had fires in the table and amazing cocktails but not a smoking area, I'd have spent £100s and hours on that terrace but instead we stayed for one and left into town. They offer food so I can understand why but there should have been a smoking area.

Great stay

We had a great time here, the room was spacious and all the staff were very friendly. The only downsides were that a gym is advertised on the hotel listing which there isn’t one & we both paid £90 for a full body massage and after asking for firm pressure it was more on the softer side.
