Beautiful hotel and spa. Superb dining. Corner suite was above the wedding venue so we were disturbed by the music until midnight. This was disappointing at £870 for the night. We were offered a late check out to compensate. If we book again we’d make sure not to have a room above the wedding venue.
Delicious dinner

Even with the renovation works, our stay was perfect. I do think that the difference between the two spa option is a little unnecessary but the basic option was great!
