2 night stay in the middle of August. Ample parking, smooth check in process, up one floor in a small lift to our rather large room. Lovely decor and the fairly usual accompaniments found within the bathroom made for a welcoming experience. The bed was on the softer side for my liking but still comfortable to sleep on. The downside to the room was the lack of air conditioning. Overall a good room to pick. The grounds the hotel is situated are beautiful, during the sunny days we stayed there the building shone in all its glory with all staff members warm and welcoming. We visited the spa midway through our stay, we can’t comment on the treatments as we didn’t opt to have any this time round, the pool area was clean and well maintained. Now time for the showstopper. The in house dining experience at this establishment is nothing short of spectacular. Please make sure you plan and book at least one meal here, starting off in a lounge area just off of the main reception you’re given your menus, asked if you’d like some drinks and a small bowl of nibbles. It’s advisable to arrive in the lounge a little bit before the time you booked your table to allow you to make the most of the experience. Once ordered, you’re then escorted through to the dining room, which is well laid out and has an extraordinary view. Once at the table, enjoy the truly exquisite food! I apologise for not being able to single out individual members of staff, the staff we interacted with were incredible!

Amazing staff throughout stay but room was tired

Really lovely helpful staff. We paid for an upgrade as initial room was small with view of flat roof. Upgraded to suite for an extra £50 for one night but smelt musty and far too hot. Guy on the desk was so friendly and helpful I didn’t have the heart to complain again.

Anniversary weekend , first impressions, very nice , bar terrace was lovely . Check in all good , prompt and friendly , room was very nice a bit dated maybe but the bathroom and bed comfort was really good The tv you can stream channels from your phone great feature and also the sensor light in the bathroom saves putting the main light on waking everyone up! Had a meal on the first night was very nice no complaints . Breakfast was lovely no complaints. All in all a very nice two nights , also used the spa that was lovely , definitely worth a visit when you stay all in all a very nice stay , a bit pricey £410 for two nights , maybe that’s what you pay now .

The spa area was excellent as was the friendliness of the staff. Unfortunately the rooms were very dated, signs of mould and cracks around windows and the furniture and bed needed replacing. The room which was a superior room needed refurbishing. and did not reflect the price paid. The situation was lovely as were the views.
