We had a great stay. Perhaps sort out the electronic locks in the spa changing rooms as only half actually worked.

Room was large and well stocked with tea, coffee, etc., Beds were comfortable and it was quiet. One thing, we went out for the day and when we arrived back in the evening our room was not made up.
Beautiful setting, excellent gym with everything a fitness lover could ask for. Nice hotel, clean, friendly staff currently undergoing renovations to rooms to update them but was nice enough with plenty of space. Wound definitely stay again.

Overnight break with spa treatments. Very nice and relaxing, staff very friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious with nice patio area
Staff were welcoming, friendly and polite. Triple room was spacious and clean. Some necessary refurbishments under way to upgrade. Water pressure was low but we were upgraded to twin double deluxe room. Nothing too much trouble. Good quality breakfast and sports bar dinner. Spa area clean and plenty of seating. Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and large pool.
This was our breif 1 day honeymoon in the suzanna suite.
The whole venue exceeded our expectations.
The bed was so comfortable which for a Hotel says alot.
Would love to return one day for another stay.
Upon arrival I was met with nice friendly staff. I had my wedding reception here so I already knew the place was top notch. Brilliant hotel, throughly recommend. If I could pick one issue is that the wifi wasn’t the best and didn’t really work.
This is a very nice Hotel with friendly staff , but the facilities are starting to look dated , but overall its a nice place to stay and i would stay again.

My experience at this hotel was disappointing. I chose it for one specific reason: the pool and spa, so I could enjoy some time with my 3-year-old son. But when we went to the area, we were told that children are not allowed. This crucial restriction, which should be clearly stated at the time of booking, completely undermined the purpose of our stay.
The rooms are basic and dated. The mattress was so soft it affected the quality of sleep, and the overall condition of the accommodation feels worn out. Breakfast was another letdown: they didn’t even have bread — something simple, inexpensive, and essential in any decent buffet.
The only positive point is the staff. They were polite, friendly, and attentive. Unfortunately, that alone doesn’t make up for the rest.
Overall, I don’t recommend this hotel and I won’t be returning.
