Pros:

Room was lovely and great decor
Very comfy bed
Stunning views from the bedroom
Pool was relaxing

Cons:

The lighting was very poor and not very well lit in the dining areas/bar. We had to use our phone torches to read menus.
Pool area was lovely however lacked enough loungers for the amount of guests in the pool
We also felt the restaurant was not of a standard it should be and the food was rather poor for the 4star standard of the hotel.

My favourite stay this year.
Pros:

Beautiful scenery, excellent service, thoughtful staff and good food. I had a surprise upgrade by their reception for my birthday and they made my stay feel very special. Claire deserves the credit for great service and attention to detail.
5 stars overall!

Cons:

Breakfast and dinner were good. Just slightly on the small side for portions but great taste and atmosphere.

Average and wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Good breakfast, pretty building

Cons:

Didn’t really feel like a hotel with minimal staff around, not much life to it and a bit basic.

poor
Pros:

the grounds were very nice

Cons:

The rooms were not great - I was given a dark stable room with small windows and my friend had a roof with plywood walls- not what we expected- obviously seems like we were second class guests. There were better rooms.
