Spa requires separate booking
I was disappointed to learn upon arrival that the spa required a separate reservation. That information was not on the hotels.com site or in the email I received after I booked the room. The hotel being attached to the spa was the primary motivator for the booking. Hopefully someone sees this review and can take the necessary actions to enjoy this amenity.

Room was welcoming
Very quick and easy check in, room was lovely and clean looking very inviting. Staff were friendly and approachable. Downside, car park was full and nowhere to park disappointing when staying overnight and at a function elsewhere, had to keep leaving the function walk through town to see if any spaces were free!!!! To prevent getting parking ticket, Eventually around 00.30 one came free

What was good for
The room was lovely, the view was good. We abbot's the service, it was not over baring, but it was friendly, welcoming and efficient. The only negative was the bath water was not hot enough, but otherwise a very enjoyable stay, with a good breakfast.
