An outstanding hotel with exceptional spa and staff – I look forward to returning on Sun, Monday and Tuesday for work!
Pros:

The hotel was exceptionally clean, stylish and very comfortable, with immaculate rooms and a wonderful bed. Every member of staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, from arranging a breakfast box and a 5am taxi to offering directions with a smile. The breakfast was first class, and the small touches, like the cheerful barman always providing a large glass of ice, made my stay truly memorable.

Cons:

Nothing at all. My stay exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t fault either the hotel or the staff.

Pleasant experience but will choose somewhere else next time.
Pros:

The location is fantastic - out of town enough for tranquility and close enough for a nice stroll. The hotel itself is quaint and suits a short stay or stop over. The spa facilities are good, the pool is on the small side though but if timed right you can enjoy with just a few other people.

Cons:

I felt there needed to be a little more attention to detail regarded the cleaning. I didn't like the fact my room only had a roof window so I couldn't look out. There is plenty of parking but unfortunately the car park is run by the local council so you can not pay up-front and need to ensure you are up early enough to pay for the parking, which you can do via an app.

Very enjoyable relaxing and memorable stay
Pros:

I had a very comfortable room with excellent decor and facilities.
The breakfast was memorable too with a good choice of food in pleasant surroundings
The overall ambience of the hotel was calm and peaceful, incorporating the spa

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike. The notices in the car park suggesting I needed to pay for parking were initially worrying but the receptionist assured me i would not need to pay. Therefore it might be a good idea to modify the wording on the notices.
