Lovely hotel and spa. Staff very helpful and friendly. We have a small car and found it awkward to park. Our room (303) was a long walk from reception and up narrow stairs with no lift for a heavy suitcase.

Comfortable, enchanting stay.
The cleanliness of the hotel was very good and staff very friendly and helpful. We did have a problem with the heating in our room which was resolved very quickly after we informed the reception. The lounge areas are very comfortable and peaceful. A great place to relax and actually read a newspaper whilst having a cup of coffee.
