Beautiful hotel in great location
My daughter & I had a night here to celebrate her birthday. We loved the hotel, the layout was comforting & relaxing with lots of little snug areas to enjoy. The room was good with super comfy bed. Staff were great, friendly & welcoming. The spa with the massage was fantastic, a really lovely space with one of the best massages BUT the pool area is awful... far too cold in air & pool temperature. I won't say anything else about this a I do believe it is having a complete refurbishment, look forward to it's completion. Our evening meal was outstanding in every way, food you dream of eating again, also the cocktails were inventive & made a change to the ordinary selection.Can't wait to come here again.
