Lovely room. Pleasant staff. Beautiful setting.
Pros:

The surroundings on the estate were beautiful. Eating dinner and looking at the mountains with a water wheel cascading into a pool….Fabulous.

Cons:

The pathways were studded with large rocks which could be a problem except this natural environment were part of its charm.

Beautiful setting and lovely service. Room for improvement in the accommodation.
Pros:

The location is stunning.
The spa is excellent.
Friendly staff with a lovely welcome.
Nice bar area with good service, good drinks and food.

Cons:

More of a holiday village than a hotel. I was a bit disappointed in the room. Very little to beautify it or make it either homely or stylish. No mini bar/fridge, which meant drinking water provided was flat and warm. Nowhere to chill any of your own drinks, though I was given an ice bucket when I requested it. The room was on the ground floor with a big window, but right outside was the pedestrian walkway so you had to keep the blinds shut. It would also be nice to have some seating areas around the grounds.

Pros:

Excellent location for walking
Staff very friendly and helpful
Facilities on site where amazing, lovely Stove restaurant and local pubs within walking distance
Will definitely stay again

Cons:

Maybe a small sitting area outside our room to enjoy the views, but this maybe down to my room choice as there were lots of different accommodation options available

It was okay.
Pros:

It was cosy decor and the staff were attentive

Cons:

The shower in the bathroom was too low, my boyfriend was bending his back to get under it.
The staff should make you aware at check in that the spa is £85 per person. We had to ask about the price and was only told £85, nothing mentioned it being per person.
There should be loungers around the main pool.
