Cleanliness was good, but pool very cold and half an hour in pool not long enough especially if want to enjoy hot tub and steam room too. Menus had limited choice for both evening and lunch / snacks in bar area. Fish undercooked and not very hot on our evening mel. No bath or any toiletries available. Ice machine available but not working.

Friendly staff, nothing was to much trouble they were very accommodating, lovely well kept hotel with plenty of character. We had the beef tenderloin in the restaurant and it was sublime, lots of nice lounging areas and a beautiful little courtyard area as well. We enjoyed the complimentary private use of the spa and opted to have back massages which was so relaxing. Overall experience was 10/10

100/10 - Amazing place & staff.

This place is truly amazing. From the minute we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. The hotel is beautifully appointed with some very eclectic touches of funriture and decoration. The staff deliver superb service. They even made a big fuss of Dizzi our Staffy. The food was amazing. I'de definitely recommend the venison. We will definitely be back and soon.

The perfect blend of luxury and independence

Fabulous from start to finish, a truly unique from design and decor, to the scent they chose for their reed diffusers. Everything was just gorgeous. We highly recommend booking a spot in the leisure facilities, swimming pool, and sauna etc. Sadly the steam room was out of action, but the jacuzzi was fab. The spa treatments are not to be missed, robes and flip flops are provided in your room, plenty of big fluffy towels and lockers available in the changing rooms though. The food in Ivy's was delicious, as was breakfast the next morning. Our only minor complaint is that the hotel and rooms are VERY hot, so if you run hot you will want your aircon on/ the windows open, but it's minor. 10/10 for the bed comfort though - great nights sleep, we'll be back!

Stunning hotel and facilities with wonderful staff! Really enjoyed that you really don’t need to leave the hotel if you don’t want to, the den and snug great additions. Sauna/pool/hot tub and spa also lovely and enjoy that you can book these privately (although appreciate some people may want more than 30 mins a day). Food great and also very generous free drinks/snacks in the room! Only negative was the wine dispenser out of action in the snug which was a shame but really not a criticism as that’s me being very picky as the hotel is such a high standard!! Will gladly come again!!
