Peace, quiet and a great find

Stayed as I run over at work, on the drive to the hotel I thought I was lost as it’s quite remote! Arrived and could not believe it was cheaper than the nearest premier inn, the hotel and grounds are absolutely beautiful and the staff are all amazing

Check in was pretty poor. Customer service was very poor and made to feel stupid that I didn’t carry a physical credit card. Abruptly told well you won’t be able to charge anything to your room. Waitress at breakfast had phone sticking out one back pocket and vape sticking out the other. Food however was lovely but expensive. Room was large and clean but very tired with cracks and lots of minor issues throughout. Cleaning staff spoke zero English with no attempt to try to help. Overall it was an ok trip away but loads to improve on to make it great.

Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Rooms could be doing with a bit of attention just like cleaning grout, filling cracks. We had 3 alcoholic drinks, a starter and 2 mains and it was 99.00 to give idea of pricing. I would definitely go back but for longer to enjoy the spa and watersports. X

Lovely place, poor breakfast

Brilliant location with fabulous views. Lovely comfy, clean room. Nice staff but sadly breakfast was poor due to staff shortage. No replenishment of pastries, fruit, ham, cheese or chocolate spread even when everything had gone, and guests were still entering the room an hour before service ended.

Average

The staff were pleasant and friendly. The room was a good size for family. The mould on the windows was very offputting. Unfer the bed hadnt been cleaned in quite some time. The fold out bed for the kids was not comfortable however the bed for adults was. The portion sizes at dinner were small. Kids were hungry afterwards. Over priced Taste of food was good but not exceptional
