Lovely Two Night Stay despite horrible weather
There were some unfair comments online made about the hotel which I disagree with. The hotel met our expectations and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was just transitioning into Christmas and the decorations and aroma in reception and the lounges was beautiful. The Spa was reasonably quiet and we found the saunas and outdoor pool to be clean and enjoyable. Our room was also lovely and our only issue was that it took ages to get warm (not hot) water from bath and sink taps. The towel rail was also cold throughout the duration of our two night stay. However, it was probably our fault for not complaining about his

Everything was great until breakfast, which was absolutely awful. Dirty table which the waitress wiped with her hand, had to ask for our hot drinks 3 times, waited 10 minutes for the orange juice to be refilled, brought my partners scrambled egg and smoked salmon but not the toast ( asked again but still no delivery of toast). By the time it did come the egg was stone cold so I asked for the order to be replaced. Basically they stuck it in the microwave and gave it back to her ( still wasn’t very hot). By this time my cooked breakfast was cold. Staff all looked very stressed and were matching about - very inattentive I should really have asked for a full refund but as there was only one staff member on reception when we checked out I just left it I have to say we were very disappointed

Very good, little niggles
The welcome was warm and friendly, room was clean, luxurious,comfortable bed, good quality bedding. Stayed 2 nights, breakfast service on 1st morning was disorganised, we had to ask again for tea and coffee and toast never arrived. Much better 2nd morning. Tiles on outside pool area broken and in need of replacing but aware a refurb is imminent. Spa treatments were fabulous. On both mornings a fault meant no lights in bathroom - reported 1st morning and quickly fixed. 2nd morning reported prior to breakfast.
