Absolutely great service and friendly staff
Elnara, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful hotel and spa. Superb dining. Corner suite was above the wedding venue so we were disturbed by the music until midnight. This was disappointing at £870 for the night. We were offered a late check out to compensate. If we book again we’d make sure not to have a room above the wedding venue.
Delicious dinner

Even with the renovation works, our stay was perfect. I do think that the difference between the two spa option is a little unnecessary but the basic option was great!

Lovely staff especially at the bar which was fitted out beautifully and I loved the little history lessons in the bar menu. The doors slam really hard and wake you up so soft closing doors would be a good investment! Nice hotel and really yummy breakfast
