Great stay, we arrived while the hotel waa experiencing a local power cut and the team on duty couldn't have been more helpful. It was all resolved quickly and we had a brilliant weekend. The spa was clean and well maintained, breakfast was well cooked and the hotel was spotless. We stayed in a loft room with a sauna, steam room and spa bath and it was gorgeous. Light and airy with lots of space, we'll definitely be back!

The breakfast was freshly cooked and it was really flexible choice from the menu. There was a full continental choice including porridge and whiskey and fruit and pastries. The staff were exceptional and you could see them being flexible across all areas of the hotel to make sure guests did not need to wait for anything. The parking was easily accessible and there was a spa and gym facilities that we didn't use as we had not prepared but when we go back we will definitely pack out swimming costumes
