If the (musical) ruckus lasted longer I would have needed months instead of weeks of therapy.
Pros:

The only redeeming feature of my stay was the 'music', I use the term very loosely finished by 11pm.

Cons:

After a nine hour drive I was just grateful to get to the hotel, upon checkin the receptionist informed me there was going to be live music that evening if I was interested, unbeknownst to me I had been placed in a room directly under the function room. Having gone to bed early, I was awoken a few hours later by what I thought was an earthquake, the bedroom's walls were shaking and vibrating accompanied by a most dreadful noise, upon which I later discovered was cruelly described as music. The noise was so defining and so atrocious it probably woke Cerberus himself, the gatekeeper of Hades. The receptionist should have had the curtesy to move me to another part of the hotel. Even the roof would have been a better option. An evening listening to Alvin and the chipmunks learning to Eskimo throat sing attended by a gang of elephants practicing foundation moves for ballet beginners would have made more sense, been quieter as well as more relaxing.

Location perfect
Hotel clean
Food good

Cons:

I had room 9 and there was no blind on my bathroom window and despite it having a frosted glass people outside could still see when you were having a shower!

Absolutely worth the money
Pros:

Lovely Art Deco type building on the cliffs above the Spa.
Our room was clean, comfortable, warm and benefitted from provided toiletries and drink making facilities.
The breakfast was excellent with an extensive menu to choose from plus a large range of fruits, cereals, juices and yogurt to start with.
A decent check out time of 11am makes a difference too.
Simply cannot fault the place.
