Wonderful 50th birthday weekend

JH, West Yorkshire, stayed: January 2024

I booked a weekend break as a surprise for my wife's 50th birthday. We got an upgrade to our room on check in and had a wonderful couple of nights. The view from the room was superb! The staff were attentive and efficient and we felt very spoilt. My wife had some Spa treatments which she said were wonderful! The food was very good and so were the cocktails.
The only negative was that the spa was very busy through the day, particularly the outside spa. This may be due to the fact it was a weekend and the spa is open to the public? We countered this by going early in the morning as soon as it opened which was fine.
A weekend of good memories and I would definitely recommend.
