The location is both great and awkward at the same time. Great because it is close enough to walk to town without needing to use the car, but awkward for those of us who can't cope so well with the hill climb back to the hotel. It's fine for young/fit/healthy! There are two or three bus numbers which do go up the hill past the hotel entrance, just a couple of stops from the town, which is a lot cheaper than the taxi option. For us, the dining was too 'haute cuisine' for our taste so we went into town to eat, but that's personal taste. However, the breakfast was great (buffet, full English plus many other things). There was no proper lounge to relax in during the evening, but there were sofas and chairs in some other places. The lift only serves the main hotel building, so expect only stairs in the Courtyard rooms, and external apartments. Our particular en-suite had a nasty smell on arrival which we reported. Our short stay unfortunately meant there was no time to use the leisure facilities so can't comment on those. All the staff were pleasant, and the grounds were nice to walk around. Our stay was at the end of April 2025, and parking in town during the mornings was just achievable, but I guess would be almost impossible during high season.
