Nice spa area and the area around the hotel was nice. Train station is relatively close but would advise a taxi or uber due to elevation difference

Couple of small drawbacks otherwise excellent

Really nice hotel in a lovely location. The check in experience was messy and I can't believe that for over £300 for the night when we stayed there wasn't even a fridge in the room...everything else was excellent.
