"The hotel is literally stunning and everything is of a high quality finish. Our room was beautiful. Staff were very attattentive. Spa was lovely although I would of liked a jacuzzi and a couple of tge steam rooms were not working. Food was delicious only issue ws we had booked a table for 8pm and when we went was told there was no booking and restaurant was full.. ee were told we would need to eat in the gallery which we weren't happy with . After a tense discussion we were then took into tge restaurant where there were empty tables and remained that wy for the rest of the night so not sure why we were told they were full. This did slightly spoil things for us.. otherwise would of rated 5 stars."
