Comfortable with good sized car park.
Pros:

Room size was good, nice big TV, we were in a superior room.

Cons:

We had issues with the EV chargers which weren't resolved. Staff didn't understand EVs.
Also we asked for just a sheet because of the hot weather, that took 4 trips to reception.
No AC.

Pros:

I have stayed at the Heronston numerous times. The staff are always excellent, very pleasant, friendly and extremely efficient. Previously I found the food hit and miss but this time it was really lovely - a huge improvement. I'm looking forward to staying again in a few weeks.

80th Birthday pary
Pros:

All of the staff did their best to ensure my Birthday party was a brilliant success.
Nothing was left to chance and every whim was dealt with a smile. I couldn't ask more, I don't want to single out any member of staff as they were all brilliant.

Fantastic stay made by amazing staff.
Pros:

Staff were incredibly friendly. Went above and beyond in all aspects of our stay.
Angharad on reception was amazing when booking and checking in regarding our worries over new food intolerances which they accomodated very well.

Jack in the bar was incredibly helpful and worked very hard.

Mickael was fantastic. Working the bar with such enthusiasm in the evening and a welcoming smile and comedy for breakfast.

Overall a brilliant stay. Would highly recommend.

Friendly staff, misleading name
Pros:

Lady behind the desk was helpful

Cons:

The money we paid and it being advertised as a spa hotel and the pool is closed for refurb. No reduction in price. £8 a pint is horrendous
