The staff made this place welcoming and helped with everything we needed.
Pros:

The staff went beyond expectation with helping our elderly grand father, we needed to leave him at the hotel while we went on a tour involving a lot of walking (hobbit town) not his thing, they made him feel comfortable with a tea and nice place to sit and then even gave him the room early so he could relax. excellent..

The hotel was awsome it was heritige old and comfortable. The dinner over the bar was excellent, even sitting having a drink in the old lounge section with the books was so fun.

The hot tub at the room was excellent and then a short walk down hill to the natural hot springs well worth the walk.

This place is good. not the hilton but hey this place is good fun, they even offer camper parking near the hot spring.

Cons:

well nothing it was all good.

Pros:

Setting was beautiful and a lovely historic hotel. Having a restaurant there was super convienient. Good prices too. Breakfast was amazing. Delicious food and selection off tgd charts. Thermal pools were magical. Great value as part of the booking and the spa pool.But we ran out of time to use it.

Cons:

Extraction fan in the bathroom was super noisy. Plug on multi board didn't work. 2 chairs needed? One lane broken tarseal driveway to apartments with only grassy slope to park car was very tricky and inadequate. Especially in wet conditions.

Pros:

Location, receptionist the lovely chap that met us and showed us around he was amazing.

Cons:

Attention more to who is staying at your venue we had a very loud crowd who partied till after midnight the nights we had stayed. Also our room looked very different to the pictures. Water pressure needs work as it was very slow.
