Hotel was really good for the price I paid, the room was very clean, bedding and towels spotless, staff were very friendly and it was in a good location. I would stay here again for sure. Only slight negative, the shower was a little disappointing but not enough to stop me coming back.

The room was quite spacious and the bed really comfortable. I enjoyed using the gym and they were kind to allow me drop off my bags after checkout for several hours. I found it quite unusual that there were no intercoms in the rooms but what you have instead is a WhatsApp line to contact the front desk or any other services I didn’t feel the absence of the intercoms as the staff was very responsive on WhatsApp. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Reception staff were lovely and check in easy. We had a balcony room, unfortunatley this overlooked the car park rather than the gardens. Overall the room size was tight, shower only no bath but did have a full sized bed (always a plus). The pool was big enough and at a nice temperature with a large hot tub area. Towels supplied were nice and soft. There were refurbishment going on when we were there so never got to use the garden until the last day. This is a nice calm space to sit. Used the restuarant once. It was not as good as i had hoped for a two AA rosette. Less than 20 covers but service was still slow. I had the deconstructed beef bourginoin. The meat was lovey but the baby onions tasted like they were taken from a jar and the house roasties had been substituted for a soggy rosti. Area around the hotel was tired but did have a few nice restaurants and was a short walk from the beach.

Welcome water nice. Check in efficient and friendly once several others dealt with. Night porter helpful. Room was spacious but stuffy and air con didn’t work/ no instructions. Didn’t have time to sort it. Bathroom tiny and a large person would have trouble with toilet and shower. Mainly clean but leisure facilities a bit tired.

Looks lovely from the outside, but very dated. We were overlooking the courtyard, when there was a wedding at the hotel… very noisy until late into the night. Swimming pool, steam room and sauna were very basic and could do with an update. Plus side, great location.

Loved this hotel! Great location, lovely garden. The breakfast was fantastic and the spa was very good! Particularly loved the Whatsapp service where you could contact the property to ask questions and make bookings, reply was always prompt and helpful. Liked our balcony too- just could have been cleaned a little more- very cobwebby and some Prosecco bottles left outside.
