Good location
Pros:

Excellent staff. Lovely gardens. Nice spa facilities.

Cons:

A little disappointed with the room which was described as superior with a garden view. It didn't have a garden view and was up a steep flight of stairs.

Pros:

Wonderful location, accommodation was clean and comfortable

The Restaurant was closed and only informed of this on arrival. I went for the Breakfast included option and breakfast consisted of cereal, fruit and toast, very poor

Beautiful surroundings, lots of potential,poor experience
Pros:

Beautiful grounds comfortable rooms

Cons:

Despite being there for three days unable to have treatments because was not told no treatments on a Tuesday and and all treatments booked on Wednesday were cancelled due to repairs in the kitchen. just before we checked it on the Monday we were told the ceiling in the kitchen fell in so they would be no hot meals, given a continental breakfast, which meant dry pastries, toast and cereal

Tired hotel in need of renovation
Pros:

The staff is nice. The lobby is alright.

Cons:

Tiny rooms with tiny beds. The decor is very tired and in need of renovation. The toilet didn’t flush. We also had swarms of flies inside our bedside lamps. The food at breakfast was very underwhelming.

I couldn't have asked for better!
Pros:

The service was amazing - everyone was so friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and all cooked freshly to order. The rooms were well equipped, especially the air conditioning which was well needed! - and the bed was very comfy. The hotel is very clean and well decorated. I shall definitely be staying again.

Cons:

A bonus would have been a fridge in the room.

Great staff, great location, average food
Pros:

Great staff they were all really helpful

Cons:

The food was not the best, the steak was over cooked and the chips under cooked but the English breakfast was 1st class.
The room we had was in need of a refurbishment

And they was a service charge on drinks that they put on even when we went to the bar and ordered them ourselves and carried them back to the table
