Beautiful hotel with stunning food
Pros:

The food was faultless and the whole dining experience was excellent. The room was very stylish and modern, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The whole ambience of the hotel was very relaxing and we had a wonderful time.

Cons:

The only reason this is not a 10/10 review is due to the cleanliness of the spa. There was a large amount of foam on the thermal pool which was visibly dirty. The showers in the changing rooms were also not the cleanest. The outdoor hot tub was not hot, but this may have been because we visited after a power outage.

Disappointing.
Pros:

Beautiful setting, lovely food but the room was soooo hot we didn’t sleep a wink! We turned the radiator off, had both windows wide open, but it was stifling still. We had the fan on all night with the fan blowing cold air on us but it was so loud we had a really rough night.

Cons:

Lack of customer service. We told the staff upon check out but they didn’t seem bothered just advised they’d get maintenance in. No apologies for the complete lack of sleep which is an integral part of the stay! Really disappointed.

I’ve been going for 15 years a few times each year and I felt like I walked into a premier inn it’s degraded so much
