staff were exceptional, particularly the lady who offered to look after our dog in reception so we could go to the swimming pool together and not have to leave the dog alone in the room. if only hotels offered this service.

Jarrod United Kingdom

The room and surroundings were very nice. The staff were very good and helpful although they seemed very busy at dinner and breakfast. The hotel is split over two sites however transport was readily available.

Paul United Kingdom

Beautiful location although it’s less peaceful as it gets more developed Good standard of facilities although some things could be improved

Ged United Kingdom

The staff were all friendly, considerate and helpful - with a smile on their faces. The spa facilites were clean, quality, quiet. The food was exquisite, with generous portions for both evening meal and breakfast, and came very quickly after ordering despite a busy restaurant. Bedrooms were comfy, spacious and clean. Wonderful gardens to walk around
