My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room I got, which overlooked the spa entrance, felt like a luxurious 5-star room with a massive smart TV and a very large bed. The price was a bit steep, £100 more than the twin room, but worth it for the upgrade. The service, however, had some hiccups as the manager's only offer was a 25% refund, which I had to decline. On the bright side, the bar team was engaging with customers. The location was great, with a lovely poolside service for food and drink. The dining experience was excellent with a wide variety of breakfast items, although some warmers didn't keep the food hot enough. Overall, a mix of highs and lows.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious with a comfortable bed and a large bathroom offering a lovely view of the countryside; however, there were other guests arriving, making it feel slightly cramped. The temperature in the room was just right, which was nice.

I found the service a bit lacking. Despite denoting my dietary requirements, the staff seemed confused and unprepared. The room facilities felt outdated and cramped, especially the corner location near other guests relaxing.

Location

The location of the hotel is beautiful, with a large and airy atmosphere, a welcoming log fire, and excellent restaurant service. The surroundings down to the smallest details like the drinking fountain and swimming costume spinner were perfect.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was mediocre, with room service being delivered in a paper bag and then cleared away promptly. The food was okay, but the issue of undercooked bacon persisted, which was disappointing.
