Overall our stay was excellent, however I would like to say reception staff need to improve their customer service as they were not very welcoming to us and quite rude and abrupt. But the other staff we encountered were quite the opposite and they provided an excellent and friendly service. We would visit again but I would hope reception staff improve their attitude towards hotel customers.

Our stay here was fantastic. Staff were welcoming, helpful and so friendly. Welcomed with a glass of Prosecco upon check in and shown around and where to find everything! The room itself was lovely - only criticism was the shower’s water pressure wasn’t great and the shower was too low for my partner to stand directly underneath without having to crouch (6 foot 2) but it was a roof top room so perhaps ceilings are a little lower there. Everything else was perfect. We would definitely return!

I cut my thought on a sharp edge in the plunge pool, staff were unapologetic and left unresolved. Music on external speakers played until late in the night, distributing sleep.
