Pros:

I liked the freash air and beautiful scenery.

Cons:

A covered hot pool for Autumn/Winter seasons would be welcomed.
This is good social interaction instead of sitting in the room due to being cold

Pros:

Room and view was absolutely breathtaking!

Cons:

Restaurant consistency can be improved - in terms of food quality and service of staff (quality and service seemed dependent on who was on duty)

I will visit again in the near future and hope to get a better, more softer/comfortable mattrass
Pros:

View is fantastic and love the lounge setup.

Cons:

Room = bed very uncomfortable - mattrass hard and pillows not up to standard. Woke up with a bad headache and body aches.
Breakfast- overall was good , but sad that the kitchen staff cannot boil eggs.
Dinner - I order a steak , did not enjoy it .Steak was tough , chewy and serve cold.

Very enjoyable.
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice. A wide variety of food available very delicious, fresh and tasty.

Cons:

Just one thing that I have experienced on both my stays, they need better knives as you can’t even cut toast with the knives supplied. Makes eating the delicious breakfast a little unpleasant.

Fair Easter Weekend Stay
Pros:

The hotel is neat, clean, and offers great facilities for kids, which we really appreciated. The breakfast spread was also good, with a decent variety. One of the highlights was the service from our waiter, who was exceptionally friendly and attentive. Most of the hotel staff were warm and welcoming.

Cons:

However, the experience was slightly let down by a few aspects. The security staff were not particularly friendly, which impacted the first impression. The food, aside from breakfast, did not meet our expectations. Additionally, our room was quite close to the main road, and noise from traffic and neighbouring rooms was noticeable, so improved soundproofing would make a big difference.
