"There was no apparent cooling in the second bedroom nor the sitting room which made sleeping less comfortable. Our bath had a noticeable scum around the sides and clearly had not been cleaned well enough. For that reason we never used the bath. Beds were comfortable and the breakfast good. Plenty of parking."

"Good clean room with plenty of storage space and usual facilities ( tea making/ iron/ hair dryer); nice roomy en-suite and plentiful hot water. Maybe I’m a fussy health freak, but I didn’t enjoy the breakfasts—no fresh fruit, quality juice, or muesli ; the cooked options were unappealing and the bread poor. Pleased to say the spa treatments were excellent with good choices and facilities. The therapists were quietly pleasant and efficient. The staff generally were welcoming and helpful"
