Overall rating:
Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location.
Our room was perfect. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room and bathroom both spotlessly clean and immaculately appointed. The only slight drawback was the view of scaffolding where decorators were painting the exterior of the hotel who we occasionally saw outside our windows. The hotel staff were courteous, helpful and friendly.
The hotel was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The staff are first class and so is the food. Superb!
Excellent service, very comfortable and relaxing throughout. Food was excellent with plenty of choice and a daily menu. We will definitely be going again.
The hotel was very good, polite staff, excellent food and interior. My only negative comment is about the bedroom - our room was directly above the filtration unit of the spa. The noise was constant, if we closed the windows, the noise was still loud and the room became hot and stuffy. As the hotel was full, we were unable to change rooms. This disruption to our sleep ruined our break.
Beautiful hotel in a lovely location. Would like to go back again.
We had sadly only one night here , lovely hotel and location. Sadly the hours the pool was open due I expect to COVID-19 I couldn’t use the lovely facilities .
Excellent hotel - looking forward to returning.
very very nice hotel on a very very nice place , good food and nice clean room , a place to go back !
Room 103 where we stayed was very noisy. We were awaked at 01.00 am by the snoring of the neighbour. We had to switch on the TV to counter the noise. There was just one flimsy door in between the two rooms. Conversation of the neighbours could be overheard. For a hotel in this category this is not acceptable. We mentioned this to the staff when we left. For the rest everything was OK.
