Hotel building, grounds are beautiful and spa is incredible, but rooms are dated and noisy. I was on the ground floor and you can hear noise all outside of the bar /restaurant area. The net curtains on the windows were stained, there was a dirty food stain on the wall near the table, and the wardrobe paint is flaking off. Poor/no soundproofing I could hear all neighbours, and was woken up by external noise at 5:50am. TV didn't work ,only showed radio stations. Food in restaurant was very good, and bar staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast food was basic- one type of sliced bread, basic pastries etc. Hot breakfast food was not hot as it is simply kept in ceramic pots on hot rings, so all of the "hot" food is lukewarm. Luckily I stayed on business, as I would not be happy paying £150 for 1 night here.

Had a spa weekend and dinner booked. There was a whole host of issues with our stay. - started the day at the spa where we were all booked in for treatments. 2 out of the 4 of us didn’t get the treatment we’d booked. - after the treatments we wanted to use the pool and other facilities but the doors to the steam room and sauna were broken so couldn’t use them. - After the spa we went into the spa cafe. No one else was in the cafe, but the service was incredibly slow just for the 4 of us. Then my friend asked for a glass of water, and was told NO with no further explanation. - We then went to check in. We had booked the hotel well in advance, and had made a request that our two rooms we’d booked were close to each other. When we checked in, we were on different floors. There was a broken mirror in the bathroom. -Went for dinner to find that the ‘kitchen was having some problems’ and that there were only 2 main dishes available from the whole menu. Was advised that it wasn’t likely to be sorted, so when we asked should we find somewhere else to eat, was told that we probably should. So we left the hotel and went somewhere else for dinner. - Went back to the hotel and couldn't sleep as the rooms were so warm. There looked to be an AC unit, but it wouldn’t work. The rooms were also very noisy. Overall, we found the staff to be fairly unhelpful, and inexperienced. And the hotel was dated and in need of some TLC.

The gym had some excellent equipment and the pool and spa looked good (I did not use the pool or spa). The bar had a good selection of drinks and the restaurant had good menu options. However, my room and the general condition of the hotel fell significantly below my expectations for a spa hotel (considering the rating on Expedia). The accommodation was very dated and in urgent need of refurbishment. The bathroom was very small, there was barely any space to open/close the bathroom door.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The spa facilities were fantastic however when we arrived we were informed it was open till 10pm. We assumed this was for the whole of the weekend stay however when we went on the 2nd day they were closing. The breakfast was amazing couldn't fault anything. The room was an executive room. It was comfortable but required refreshing as paint was stained. We would return
