Fantastic, pure luxury hotel!
Pros:

Pure luxury, fantastic staff, and food was outstanding

Cons:

The only minor criticism was the bed was rock hard, and my back was in half. It is my fault though as should have asked for a mattress topper, which reception did confirm they offer. I have stayed many times at this hotel. I won’t say anywhere else instead of the Victoria or Belmont.

Even better than our previous stays
Pros:

The best part of the Victoria is the kindness and consideration shown to all guests, young and old. It is a perfect spot for both children and older people and guests with mobility requirements. Food was always hot and tasty and served with alacrity.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike.

Great hotel
Pros:

Lovely hotel

Cons:

Spa was fantastic but when your staying in hotel of this quality you don’t want to have leave the property due to the spa staff are allowing children to run and jump in the pool when you are trying to relax but you can’t as the children are shouting and using it like the local swimming baths
