Overall experience ok, staff friendly but only one staff at the morning breakfast and have to wait for 20 mins just to order. Room was basic for Bannatyne standard. The standard double bed was very uncomfortable as it was combination of 2 beds joined together leaving the gap in the middle. Shower was flooded and toilet flush buttons not working properly. A bit dissappointed.

Staff are fantastic The room was new, clean etc but poorly designed. No reading lamp. The lighting in the bedroom is awful. Whoever designed the room needs to go back to school! I couldn’t make the room cosy. It was all or nothing for lighting. I couldn’t read my book in bed.

The food service in the Spa cafe and bar was poor. The staff seemed to be unfamiliar with areas of the job, attendance to potential customers poor at times, i.e, serving staff not behind the counter but in the kitchen area no means of calling them, e.g. a bell, ordered food detail wrong more than once, long waiting time for drinks and food. Observed servive staff handling unwrapped baked goods items with bare hands, not using tongs. Overall cafe service was poor.
