Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fabulous

Stayed here previously and service is fantastic. A bit of let down as one of the basin in the bathroom was blocked and fuse blew as soon as we turned the jacuzzi on. I was told the following morning that we could have called an after hours for urgent assistance, but it was a too much of a hassle for someone to visit late at night. The front person was very apologetic, luckily we had the fire going so it was warm enough for the night! Very comfortable place to stay. Will stay again in the future.

Amazing stay. We had a suite and absolute loved it, it was huge, we had our own spa, and an amazing view. Will definitely be coming again. Our only mistake was heading down for breakfast at 0930 to find out it was closed by then.

Think the addition of a pool would have been amazing. Sauna needs fixing, menus updated, beddings with stains. Otherwise beautiful accommodation, lovely staff and nice and quiet.
Rudi, 3-night trip

I’ve stayed here before some years ago and had forgotten how nice it was. Ideal for a break away from everything and just chill out and relax.
