Cheryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We have stayed at this hotel 12 months previously, and I would say there is no obvious or dramatic change. The property could do with a bit of a facelift/lick of paint here & there (particularly in the bathrooms/shower in the rooms). I have to say though that the staff are very friendly & helpful. We had a particular problem with noise in our room (316) related to the AC/heating system. The staff were really understanding and arranged a different room. We really enjoyed the pool / spa facilities. The bar food menu was OK, but nothing special (maybe we should have gone in the restaurant). Overall good stay, and staff outstanding,so we will be back.

I waited more than 2 hrs for my bathrobe to be delivered to the room. Then I asked 3 x different members of staff for an in-room service menu, but still no sign after 4 hours.

Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Well we couldn’t have asked for more, the lady on reception was a delight, the manager too. We had a lovely clean and spacious room with such a comfortable bed. Eating in the bar was a great experience, the food was stunning. The lady serving in the bar could not have been nicer, great recommendations and service. Relaxing pool and sauna. The perfect stay, thank you!
lee, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We found the hotel was just an average one. We failed to see how it could be regarded as 5 star by previous guests. On reflection we would have been better staying in a good Premier Inn or similar and visiting this hotel's spa facilities as a Day Guest. The spa, gym and swing side of this hotel were certainly above average.
Gordon, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good stay. Staff not very helpful. SPA staff were rude and not helpful. Otherwise room was good and nice environment.

6/10 Okay

Area was lovely outside peaceful. Great spa services. Staff polite. Room clean .loved the fact had a bath and shower separate. Water dispenser available on all floors. The pool area could do with a paint, as pipes looking bit rusty and ceiling peeling in areas. Would been nice to have a jacuzzi.

Shaun, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely hotel, very clean and staff Lovely. Used the spa which was nice but noticed the ice room needs some TLC (Mosiac tiles everywhere) and the seating in one sauna was broke. Food was high quality and tasty. Pillows were so comfy and the room had high end ELEMIS Toiletries. Overall a great stay.
