Not uplifting because of the decor.
Pros:

Good and friendly staff, good food and breakfast, comfortable but dismal room. I did not use the spa, but it looked nice. Gardens also pleasant with huge trees.

Cons:

The decor of the whole place is dark and depressing. Dark walls, dark floor and corridors. Accessing my room entailed a long walk down a dark corridor with lighting coming on every few meters at a time, then down stairs and more dismal corridor. Overall a depressing atmosphere.

Had a lovely dinner with a friend whom I haven't seen for awhile. It was a great place to meet and catch up. Started with some cocktails in the bar then had dinner in the restaurant. Staff were all friendly and the food was amazing. Will definitely come back to stay and use the spa facilities!
