Wouldn't stay again.
Pros:

The hotel and facilities were lovely. The food was lovely.

Cons:

Spa facilities: A hen party appeared to be taking over certain areas of the spa, while children were left unsupervised in one of the hot tubs. This significantly limited our ability to enjoy the facilities.
Noise outside our room: Children were making considerable noise around the small kitchen area near our room during the evening. Although this settled before 11pm, it was another disruption to what should have been a relaxing stay.
Excessive noise overnight: Our main concern was the hen party staying in the room above us. They were screaming and singing along to Céline Dion until approximately 2am. The noise was completely excessive and made it impossible for us to sleep. This was not simply the occasional disturbance you might expect in a hotel, but hours of sustained noise late into the night.
Staff: It took ages for anyone to come to the desk to help at 2.00am when the noise was happening. They've ignored out complaint e-mail leaving us not choice but to leave a negative review.

Pros:

Excellent overall experience. Food was delicious and a great atmosphere.

Cons:

Shower could have been easier to use and it was hard to regulate the temperature. The bedroom door was also very difficult to open and we could not have got out unless the facilities manager had been doing his rounds. But overall a lovely place to stay and would happily go again.

decent value for the stay , restaurant poor
Pros:

clean, most staff friendly

Cons:

evening restaurant was poor, some food was cold, things came we didn't order and where then on bill at the end, plus the death stare from the waiter when we refused it, some of the dishes were bland others decent, most waiters were nice, just the one who didn't really know how to treat staff
