I feel my money could of been better spent elswhere
Pros:

Very little

Cons:

Bed too small & Too soft it gave me back ache after 1 night. It was a disabled room built for 1 person with a tiny sink/basin at my knee height, meaning I had to kneel down to do something as simple as was my face. The staff were unable to change the room and blamed the booking on the fact we'd booked through Booking.com. The room

Pros:

Location was good , lovely open spaces , friendly staff make you feel welcome and there is a nice relaxed feeling within

Cons:

Restaurant choices and prices weren’t great, staff at reception weren’t able to do some basic bits and would just say “ oh I don’t know “ or “ I don’t work on reception” making processes painful and delayed , several things were out of order in the spa and cups were left out in the spa for two days . Our room was a bit dated and the bathroom wasn’t to standard in cleanliness

Very disappointing, booked Super Deluxe room as a treat and it was anything but!
Pros:

Check-in was efficient and the waiting staff in the Bar and Breakfast welcoming. Food in the bar was very good.

Cons:

I booked a Super Deluxe Room, TV in the room didn't work, No glasses for water, complimentary water was only 500ml would have expected Litre bottles for Super Deluxe rate. Bed and pillows lumpy not very comfortable. Shaving Mirror and Towel Rail in the bathroom loose and not fixed to the wall properly. Lightbulb over the bath not working. No proper lighting to bathroom mirror. No vanity pack but they did have a shaving kit! Breakfast buffet very tired and not very good
