Family birthday celebration
Went to stay as part of a family birthday celebration. We were able to check in to their room early to be able to decorate and we could store the cake in the kitchen for the next day. Our room wasn't ready before the check-in time but we were able to use the pool and spa. I had a separate treatment booked which was one of the best massages I've ever had. Staff were on hand to answer any questions and the food and drink was lovely. Only disappointment was that you don't get conditioner as part of the toiletries set in your room and none was available at reception.

6/10 Good

Good place to stay, food and staff was superb.
So nice staff for sure, good location, room not quite what was shown on the initial photos as it showed vaulted ceiling room and we didn't get that though in fairness if we had scrolled passed the first photo's we would have seen the other rooms. Ours was in a separate block overlooking the little stream and trees etc. Nice and quiet but room lack aircon and it was rather warm, we could not leave windows open as lots of insects flying about. Rest room and faculties very good. Breakfast was excellent and highly rated. Walk out the door and your in the middle of everything with shops and restaurants within a few mins walk. Walks again short distance before you found yourself in the wonderful countryside. Overall a good place to stay.
