We enjoyed ourselves but a little disappointed with cleanliness of hotel.
Pros:

Lovely location, food was very good apart from breakfast was a bit cold.

Cons:

Cleanliness of whole hotel, carpets are quite dirty & need either replacing or cleaning. A lot of cobwebs in bedrooms. Bar in old part of hotel/spa area closed too early. Expensive in comparison to other 4 star hotels we have stayed in.
