Absolutely amazing.
Pros:

Central to everything, great selection of dining places round about, beautiful interior and spa, excellent customer service. Ps the picture with the bed was the morning of going home we just gave the place a tidy but the bed covers were nice and smooth when we arrived.

Cons:

That the tvs only have normal channels and can’t access personal Netflix etc through app.

perfect stay good value for money but it was a quiet time so we possibly got a great bargain.
Pros:

Every thing was as expected, on the last day the breakfast arrived cold we had ordered it instead of going to the buffet to ensure it was hot but disappointed. did not complain as it was a minor hic up in an otherwise wonderful stay.

Cons:

no comment there was nothing that was not up to expectations staff room and facilities were wonderful. I would stay again but not during the height of the season as prices do become a bit ridiculous.

Great but strange mouldy smell
Cons:

The musty mouldy smell in our room was not nice. Had to open the windows and it remained for the short stay we were there on the 3rd floor.

Excellent , felt very special
Pros:

Room excellent with a castle view !
We got given early check in .
My sister got a lovely card and cake for her 60th .
Reception staff - excellent .
Room service - prompt and delicious .

Cons:

I thought the spa was overpriced, when you were already staying at the hotel , but that’s minor .
Only staff member who let the rest of the staff down was the gentleman at breakfast , he was quite dismissive , dependent on who you were it seemed ?
