Great food and ambience -staff were so professional but very friendly.
Pros:

Old and new beautifully blended. Staff were amazing and food was delicious and beautifully delivered. Spa and pool
Area was a nice extra addition to our stay.

Bed wasn’t to our personal preference but these are the things you can’t control when staying in a hotel. Didn’t affect our overall enjoyment of our stay.

Would definitely stay again and have already recommended to friends and family.
Pros:

We were not disappointed. Everything about the property from the minute we arrived was fabulous.
Perfect staff, friendly and attentive. Perfect food and the location for visiting local attractions was also really easy.

Can’t complain about anything at all!

Disappointing
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

So many little things that made our stay disappointing. The room was bare and Spartan. Hanging space was a wee raill tucked in a narrow corner where there was no light. One set of drawers with no stops on the drawers so on first use they fell out. No injury caused. Breakfast service was poor with staff who did not engage with guests. On Tuesday we had to remind them our order hadn't been taken and the wait for some poached eggs was ridiculous. Almost 1.5 hours for breakfast which was not of the quality id expect in a hotel like this which claims to be upper market. I wouldn't recommend this hotel at all.

A very relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. Thank you.
Pros:

The different rooms available to sit and read in. The beautifully manicured grounds. The friendly reception staff and the evening staff, particularly the young lady in the bar. Great swimming pool.

Cons:

One of the breakfast staff had put a bowl of fruit salad on a side table. Each time she went past it she picked up a piece with her fingers, put it in her mouth and then carried on serving. I witnessed her do this at least 5 times.
