Had a spa weekend and dinner booked. There was a whole host of issues with our stay. - started the day at the spa where we were all booked in for treatments. 2 out of the 4 of us didn’t get the treatment we’d booked. - after the treatments we wanted to use the pool and other facilities but the doors to the steam room and sauna were broken so couldn’t use them. - After the spa we went into the spa cafe. No one else was in the cafe, but the service was incredibly slow just for the 4 of us. Then my friend asked for a glass of water, and was told NO with no further explanation. - We then went to check in. We had booked the hotel well in advance, and had made a request that our two rooms we’d booked were close to each other. When we checked in, we were on different floors. There was a broken mirror in the bathroom. -Went for dinner to find that the ‘kitchen was having some problems’ and that there were only 2 main dishes available from the whole menu. Was advised that it wasn’t likely to be sorted, so when we asked should we find somewhere else to eat, was told that we probably should. So we left the hotel and went somewhere else for dinner. - Went back to the hotel and couldn't sleep as the rooms were so warm. There looked to be an AC unit, but it wouldn’t work. The rooms were also very noisy. Overall, we found the staff to be fairly unhelpful, and inexperienced. And the hotel was dated and in need of some TLC.

The gym had some excellent equipment and the pool and spa looked good (I did not use the pool or spa). The bar had a good selection of drinks and the restaurant had good menu options. However, my room and the general condition of the hotel fell significantly below my expectations for a spa hotel (considering the rating on Expedia). The accommodation was very dated and in urgent need of refurbishment. The bathroom was very small, there was barely any space to open/close the bathroom door.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The spa facilities were fantastic however when we arrived we were informed it was open till 10pm. We assumed this was for the whole of the weekend stay however when we went on the 2nd day they were closing. The breakfast was amazing couldn't fault anything. The room was an executive room. It was comfortable but required refreshing as paint was stained. We would return

This hotel advertises as a luxury hotel with a spa. The hotel reception was uninviting and nothing like a luxury hotel. The first receptionist was polite but took some time to find our key and book us in. She didn't know a lot about the hotel. No concierge service or help with luggage. Weekend reception staff not friendly. We booked a suite and were booked into the Cariad Suite. When we walked in there was a stale damp smell, not a clean fresh smell that you would expect for a room at almost £300 per night. The room had a nice layout but that was it. It was cleanish but the couch in the sitting area looked as though several people had been sitting on it. The juliette balcony was filthy, the bed linen was clean but the cushions and throw smelt dirty. The floor was clean. The toilet was ok but smelt a bit. The big glass mirror was broken on three edges. Bath was nice. His and Her sinks were nice but nowhere to put toiletries. Back in the main room and bed area it was tired with cracks and marks in decor. The restaurant had lovely staff particularly the young waitress who greeted us but the food was not pleasant, it wasn't cheap so we assumed it would be good quality but it wasn't. We went for lunch and had booked dinner but cancelled dinner because lunch was so awful. Also a lot of the chairs were tired looking and sunk down when you sat on them. Not a spa hotel either just access to one up the road!
