The hotel has easy parking, although this time it was extremely bizzy, The spa is a relaxing experience, in our allocated slot 3pm the shower in the spas was not working and rather a lot of glasses on the tables in the seating area, The room we stayed in was smaller than usual, standerd with balcony, sadly front views was part of the roof (of the bar ), Bathroom bin rusty/ no coffee/ tea /milk /sugar in room , had to ask at reception, Its a lovely calming location with short walks.

Hotel was great, sat at table in restaurant for 20 minutes and still no one asked if wanted a drink, in the end had to find someone, ordered bread for the table. Never turned up! All in all good stay just need to be a little more attentive to guests in the restaurant

We thoroughly enjoyed the spa. Our room didn't have a view but it was very comfortable and quiet even though there was a wedding. The breakfast was not great unfortunately as nothing was hot and the coffee machine produced undrinkable cappuccino, I asked a young guy if one could be made from the proper coffee machine behind the bar but he said that there was no one to do it.
