NO SPA

This hotel does NOT have a spa. Hotel.com is deliberately misleading on this point. The spa is a 15-20min walk or 5-10min drive. Hotels.com is aware but still haven't changed the info. you are made aware of this on the hotels own website but that's not useful when booking through hotels.com. Other than that a perfectly nice hotel.

Tired room & expensive room rate

Hotel was cold on arrival & our bedroom was extremely cold also. I was able to turn the radiator on, something I think could have been done prior to our arrival. The room was clean but sadly very tired, smelt old & had cracks in bathroom floor and a wardrobe that was really small that wouldn’t fit our clothes in, due to the iron & ironing board, iron, extra pillows and blankets stored inside. After a 3 hour journey- arriving at 830am no mention of any restaurant availability & a rushed checkin Wake-up call was asked for, but that never happened. In the morning we also had 3 ladybirds in the room crawling on the ceiling, . the hotel could do with some refurbishment to bring it up to 2025!! As it is very dated and an expensive room rate.
