Lovely location and a comfortable large room. Swimming pool is an excellent size and overall a very pleasant way to spend a few days

Beautiful Location
We stayed in the Manor House at this resort which was off the beaten track in a beautiful setting and lovely views from our room. The restaurant's offerings were extremely good and the very busy staff were exceptionally patient and friendly.
The room was a little tired but overall spacious. There was no way of turning the radiator on. Take a fan heater.
However, the spa was very poor. Clean but decor poorly maintained, especially the showers, all of which had different taps, different screens and no usable toiletries. These were either on the floor empty or just hanging there. Very disappointing. Swimming pool good size and hot tub and sauna great temperatures. Such a shame it was badly let down.
