Sad hotel
The hotel was very tired but clean, the reception and check in were slow and unwelcoming.
We thought that the bar was help yourself.
Sadly a very disspointing stay from what could be a beautiful hotel.

Excellent spa, although a bit annoying to have to take towels from hotel room or pay for others.
Room was very nice and enjoyed a glass of wine in a quiet lounge.

Average
Average, rooms had cobwebs and waited on both days for some time to get a brew with breakfast. Not awful, just not great for the price
