I find this hotel has the atmosphere of a Villa in Tacany superb Surroundings. Rooms were Warm how we a bit of chill coming through the French doors near balcony. Beds were very comfortable and the fireplace was just so appealing for a chilled time. Just disappointed with not knowing the pool was out of order before arrival however our experience was just lovely. We will come back each year to enjoy our down time here.

Check in was a disaster! The hotel had accidentally allowed the wrong guests to check into our room. Took over an hour to rectify the error, meaning check in was so slow and rushed us for our evening meql with friends. The hotel did offer a glass of prosecco whilst we waited. Still very stressful for the guests who were asked to re-pack their belongings & leave and for us waiting for my pre paid room. The hotel overall is nice. Rooms could do with some tlc ( re paint and plug sockets re-attaching etc), but the bed was comfy and the room was clean. The heated pool and breakfast was nice. Staff could add some extra customer service to remember who their guests are. We were asked a few times if we were staying at the hotel when we walked in. After that check in error you would think they could remember. We were only there 2 nights so dont think its so hard. Its those extra minimal thoughts that make a 5* and improve customer experience.

Our room and bed were great, the staff and service was also fantastic. We had spent the day driving and were able to relax and have a nice hot shower. Only issue we had was the toilet water flow kept running a couple of times and was a little difficult to stop - we notified reception. The breakfast was delicious!

Property looks like it was once very nice. Now pretty tired with very little atmosphere. After being disappointed by the very basic breakfast we decided not to dine here for dinner. Staff were friendly but it felt disorganized, restaurant was cold and room off restaurant is a store room. Nothing high end about this place

If I was on my honeymoon I would want to stay there. How can things be improved? You could upgrade your WiFi. We found it slow and so inadequate we couldn't use it. We were in room 5 and there was a faulty electrical wire or connection on the left side of the bed(when looking at it). Also the phone was faulty.

The most amazing accident… a last minute find and was just the most beautiful property with attentive and helpful team looking after our every need. The villa is from another world but wonderfully invested in to, clean, tidy and comfortable. My only regret is not staying longer. Highly recommend. Thank you.

This place is very close to the seaside, and the decoration is luxurious and grand. The most commendable thing is that the staff's service was very attentive and thoughtful, and the breakfast was also very good. It is recommended to replace the faucet of the bathroom basin and add curtains for the toilet.
