Lovely hotel. Staff helpful and friendly. Beautiful setting. Great breakfast. Bar and food prices a little steep, though food quality good Spa OK, but lacking jacuzzi and changing room a little 'leisure centre-esque' rather than premium spa.

I moved here after my conference accommodations in the city turned out to be substandard. It’s a great little hotel. Very peaceful. Staff is mostly young, professional, warm. I didn’t have the opportunity to use the spa amenities. However, I had a great meal at the restaurant. My room was spacious, clean, well equipped. During non-rush-hour, it was about 15 British pounds to Uber into the city. I would definitely stay here again.

Friendly staff and a pleasant stay.

We used the pool and sauna/steam room several times over our stay. The area was reasonably clean but there are a few missing tiles and the changing rooms would also have benefited from deep cleaning on a more regular basis. The steam room was poor with no hose to clean down and inadequate steam. The sauna however was good though a little on the small side.
