Best thing about this property is the view across the street
Pros:

Fish and chips dinner was good. View across the road stunning. The drive up to the hotel was beautiful with the old growth trees.

Cons:

Beds were absolutely horrible. probably 40 years old, very lumpy and very squeeky every time you moved at all. Shower had mold. Breakfast was 🫣. Smoked salmon very fishy, coffee press for 2 had 1 teaspoon of coffee. We ate soon after somewhere else

Wonderful place with great food and staff.
Pros:

Food was amazing - Breakfast and evening meal, we gave our compliments to the chef. Wine list was also good. The staff were lovely, especially Nadia who was our evening server and took good care of us. We enjoyed the pool and spa facilities, just what we needed after a long day. Also, the gym looked great, we just didnt have time to use it. We loved our stay, the hotel is beautiful and the location stunning! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Cons:

Only one issue was the water in my shower was cold, but I believe it was the isolator switch. My friend had lovely warm water.

Terrible
Pros:

Breakfast made to order.

Cons:

It is a disgrace to "lock" your guests in a room that cannot be cooled or ventilated. When it comes to the bathroom, you can add another 10 degrees Celsius to that, so definitely lock that door. More complaints have been voiced about this, and entirely justifiably so. Because if you open a window, you are disturbed by the fans that apparently belong with the pool.

They did try to mitigate that problem somewhat by installing a semi-air conditioner, but that thing makes so much noise that you can't sleep because of it. Actually, it was a terrible, sleepless night in terms of heat and noise. Naturally, I reported and protested this upon checking out, but I didn't get much further than "I will pass it on."

By the way, the outside temperatures were normal and around 15 degrees. So this is not due to a new heatwave.

No more than OK.
Cons:

It didn't feel very welcoming, and the room was in need of a bit of tlc (although the bed was comfortable).
Slightly disappointing breakfast.
