The room we stayed in was a disabled room which was wonderful my only downside of this was the door into the room going in was workable but leaving was a task if these were to be automated they would be perfect if travelling as a load traveler. The bar on night time was great as a singer was on which he was amazing & breakfast in the morning was outstanding lots of choices to be made

8/10 Very good

The hotel grounds and room were beautiful, reception and spa staff were friendly but breakfast staff not so much. Spa facilities were decent, though the steam room and swimsuit dryer were out of order. Breakfast had a good selection of foods, though some of it was lukewarm and it took around 30 mins and an additional request to have coffee brought to the table. There were oddly a lot of crumbs down the side of the upholstery at breakfast.
