The setting is absolutely stunning and with a few tweaks here and there this would be a fabulous hotel. However, unfortunately there was clearly some sort of mould issue in the bathroom which is not very pleasant and not expected in a 5 star hotel. We also did not receive our evening turn down service and as a result had to go to the reception for new towels etc. We ate in the restaurant for lunch and the food was good, albeit more on the expensive side. Breakfast was also nice. Overal

Well earned break

Warm welcome awaited us at Hotel combined with a personal walk around hotel and grounds by concierge service. Room was well appointed and spotlessly clean. Food at breakfast was delicious and served individually which meant it was hot. Dinner was fantastic with a varied and interesting menu. Service by staff in both restaurant and bar was great without being intrusive. But the star attraction at breakfast, dinner and drinks in the bar was the view.

Expected more but was disappointed

It was a nice location but not a 5 star experience. The room was very dated and didn’t feel 5 star quality. The bathroom was especially poor and needed a total upgrade. The bar was quite nice aesthetically but the service was slow and none of the furniture was particularly comfortable to sit on. We also did a spa day. The treatments we got were good but the rest of the spa was quite basic and didn’t flow. That may have been a space issue.
