A lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. I had a lovely relaxing massage in the Spa and to have a swimming pool on site was an added bonus as not all hotels have one. The food in the restaurant was very nice and all freshly cooked and the breakfast was a mixture of continental and cooked and had lots of options for everyone. Good that it was self service so can go up and help yourself. The staff were very attentive in making sure that everything was topped up. You could also request other things if you wanted. The room itself was also very good apart from the shower going hot and cold! Very thankful the room had air con! A lovely added touch in the Reception area was the ice cold water with lemon and lime, which guests can help themselves to at any time - a very welcoming refreshment in this heat we have been having to endure! Overall we had a very lovely stay. We would definitely go back again and we would definitely recommend.

The room was beautiful and one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in. However the parking is ridiculous. You are told on arrival you must pay for parking for the duration not per day. This is an issue because you spend most of your evening driving around to find a space. The spaces are very small so your car is at risk of being scratched daily. The breakfast is shocking for £17.50 a head so avoid at all costs. The staff on reception and breakfast seem short staffed and short tempered. I also did not have my room replaced for towels or cleaned for the duration of our stay. Such a shame as the hotel is very pretty but the service did not replicate this for me and we would not stay here again
