Good. Book spa early!
Pros:

Beautiful location and very attentive staff

Cons:

General spa access needs to be booked well in advance or else you won’t get in. This wasn’t made clear on booking so wasn’t able to use those facilities which was disappointing as it was assumed this was automatic. Lumpy pillows too but otherwise a lovely hotel
