Despite a nice view from pools, overpriced and disappointing.
Pros:

Thermal pools overlooking the lake

Cons:

The is spa, ostensibly the hotel’s main draw, is governed by an excessive and confusing set of restrictions around access times and eligibility. Despite being a paying hotel guest and booking a 50-minute treatment at £115, I was still denied access. However you can book for £25 a 2 hour window where you can use some of the facilities but not all. This combined with the constant emphasis on additional charges, created an atmosphere that felt far more focused on extracting money than providing a relaxing or enjoyable experience.

Even when access was granted, the spa pools overlooking the lake were beautiful - however inside It was overcrowded and far from the tranquil environment one would expect at such a cost, with the presence of loud children undermining any sense of relaxation. Given the strict rules and premium fees, it astounds me that children are allowed in the spa area??

The rooms were equally underwhelming, cramped, uninspiring, and entirely out of proportion with the price charged.

Overall, this hotel feels less like a luxury retreat and more like an exercise in upselling at every opportunity including £12 per night parking for each car? Aside from the view, there is little here to recommend.

Spa great, service….ok
Pros:

The outdoor spa is the jewel in the crown of this property. It’s magnificent.

Cons:

It was all just a bit ruthless. Bill under the door before you awoke in the morning, room charges automatically deducted from credit card (even though we hadn’t checked out or had some queries on the bill addressed - some of which were incorrect and had to be corrected.)Phantom dinner reservations which didn’t materialise. It was all just a bit meh on the experience front, but they were so very efficient at the charging part.
