Amazing Stay – Relaxing Hot Tub & Fantastic Food!

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The hotel itself was beautiful, but the highlight was definitely the hot tub – the perfect addition for a truly relaxing getaway. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The staff in the restaurant were fantastic—so friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding, full of flavour and beautifully presented, and the cocktails were just perfect. Every little detail made the stay feel special, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious break!

Overall great stay

Place was amazing, room was perfect, hot tub exactly how it should be. The only thing that let the stay down was how slow the service was with food in the restaurant, the food was really nice just the overall service wasn’t great that was both the evening meal and breakfast, the restaurant wasn’t busy either on the evening or morning so not sure if this is a 1 off or the normal but overall great stay I would definitely go back again but maybe not have a meal on the night especially.

Great stay

We had a great stay. Customer service was brilliant. Could do with better road signage as it wasn't very clear where the entrance was.
