Room very very small despite booking what is described as a king room - it was very small with a double bed. Very noisy with road noise and other rooms. Hugrly dissaponting that we were unable to use the swimming pool due to aqua aeorbics all morning! Booked this hotel especially to use the facilties to enjoy with my daughter which we could not utilise. Food was limted and breakfast very basic.

Nice hotel and spa. Uncomfortable bed.

Lovely hotel in pretty grounds. The spa facilities are great, although there doesn't seem to be option to book treatments. Hotel is nice enough. We were in the Small Double and it is small but not as bad as some hotels! Only real issue is the bed. Very uncomfortable and I slept really badly.
