It was disappointing to realised we needed to pay an additional fee to use the spa despite being booked into the hotel and booking 1.5hr treatments. Facilities in the spa are limited ie no main pool for 2 hrs of use. For dinner I needed to ask the waitress to sweep the floor around the table which was very messy. For breakfast being such a sunny day it was a shame immediate access was not possible from the restaurant itself. The paintwork in the bedroom ie skirting and paper lining lifting.
