Friendly, clean, good value & in a beautiful setting.
Pros:

Set in stunning grounds, it’s a lovely building that clearly was once quite something.

Cons:

Could do with more soft furnishings to make more homely

Pros:

Nice property, deluxe room has a spa bath which was very nice, excellent size room. Some of the staff are nice.

Cons:

They provided very small shampoo/body wash and wouldn’t replace them daily. I’ve asked why but they said we replace them every 2/3 days which I was very confused on as they are tiny, and run out with one bath/shower. Without the knowledge of them charging me, I’ve asked for some more shampoo but they gave me the whole set I.e. body wash, soap, conditioner and shampoo, and I asked for slippers as it’s hard floor and cold to walk on, and they charged it all at check out and they said you should’ve known as it’s written in the guest handbook, and they didn’t even say it when I asked for it over the phone or when they delivered it to my room which I found very sneaky and was taken aback, but they still charged me

Bliss! Relaxed and recharged. Hotel is 10/10
Pros:

Everything!! The staff were amazing. The facilities were on point. We stayed one night for a short relaxation break and that’s exactly what the hotel offered. So tranquil and we have come home refreshed and recharged. We had a massage treatment and it was incredible. The food was served was insane and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Already looking for another break there but for longer this time

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like

Pros:

Swimming pool and Jacuzzi.

Cons:

The hotel is too expensive considering the amenities and interior.

The bar is open until 10:00 p.m., but the coffee machine is turned off by 8:30 p.m.—why?

Breakfast is very poor; there’s no variety at all! There’s no cheese or meat selection for sandwiches, no vegetable selection; we ordered a scrambled egg and they brought a plate with no garnish—not even dill or parsley! There’s no presentation for the customers! In my opinion, the waiting staff are unhappy with their jobs! Somehow, there’s a lack of atmosphere and interaction with the customers!

It’s a shame—the pool and jacuzzi made up for our stay.
