Need a good sleep? YES!!
We have a new puppy and I have been up with him between 4 and 5am. So I booked in here for a good nights sleep. Seamless book in, found the room easily. Stayed in the arboretum, which I love with the sound of the running water. Curtains shut, got into bed, first sleep 3 hours. Bed extremely comfortable and bed linen clean. However, the pillows smelt slept on/sweaty but a quick spray of my perfume when I went to have dinner made it nicer when I finally went to bed. Nine and a half hours sleep!! Plus the 3 before. Winner. Breakfast was ok, the cooked breakfast was luke warm at best, which was a shame cause there was a good choice. Also excellent choice if you wanted a lighter breakfast. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Disliked: Room comfort
Very small shallow pool. Atrium rooms dingy.
Room was cold, especially at night. Being an atrium room (no outside window) it was dark and claustrophobic. Atrium doors didn’t close properly. Swimming pool very small and very shallow,more like a paddling pool. Impossible to swim. Depth at a small point in the middle which fanned upwards towards edges. Not for swimming or for more than, say, 2 people. Not told at time of booking building works were in progress. Buffet breakfast although plentiful was overcooked. Fully refundable booking. Checked out following day before 11am due to being unable to go for a swim (went for the pool) but they refused refund for following 2 nights. Hotel seemed almost empty. Main bar shut, just pricey Asian Restaurant open for meals and drinks - but we don’t like Asian food.

Place is amazing! Make sure to get a room with the atrium balcony, it'a beautiful. The plants are a wonderful touch, and during the day the sun lights everything up through the ceiling. Breakfast very tasty. Only thing we didn't like was our bed was quite firm, hard to sleep on without waking up or being sore after.
