Please make the single room bed more comfortable.
Pros:

Good location and nice setting

Cons:

Single bed was very hard. Staircase to room difficult to navigate and finding the room was not easy. Hotel around here looked very tired and smelled funny. Room very hot as no ac.

I'd stay again
Pros:

The staff were all brilliant.
A request made on booking was fulfilled above and beyond.
Stunning location.
A great breakfast choice of both continental and English.
The shower was really powerful.
Overall really good.

Cons:

I booked primarily for the spa facilities attached to the pool.
I was disappointed to find none of them were working and haven't been for some time when I spoke with regular health club users.
The pool was freezing too which was a but disappointing and I found the bed quite uncomfortable but I appreciate this is down to preference

Stay was average but very disappointed with the facilities.
Pros:

Breakfast was standard. All Staff were excellent and very very helpful.

Cons:

We came for a spa break to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my wife's Birthday.
To our disappointment,
1. jacuzzi and sauna both were out of order.
2. Water in the swimming pool was too cold
3.steam room was too hot
4. Lift was not working, as it wouldn't take to our floor.
We could have been told before hand so we could book at some other place.

Two single beds to make a double, solid line down the middle.
Pros:

Breakfast was good

Cons:

Staff made me feel unwanted, not sure if It was because I was in work clothes, found them generally rude, when I arrived in the evening and again when I left in the morning, different staff members.
