Nice room lovely staff and enjoyable stay in a lovely location
Overall, this was a nice place to stay.
I had Room 10 and unfortunately there was something dripping outside the window the whole time though, which woke me up a few times in the night.
The room decor could do with an update/redecoration. The bathroom too. But it was ok for what I needed.
It would have been nice to see a Bar Menu out somewhere to know what food was available.
Any staff I encountered were great. Thank you!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
I booked this hotel expecting 4-star standards, but the experience was very disappointing. There was no housekeeping throughout my stay - the room was not cleaned, the bins were not emptied, and towels were not replaced. For accommodation advertised as 4*, this is simply unacceptable.
Basic facilities were also lacking: the shower had very poor water pressure, and the water was never properly hot, only lukewarm at best. These are essentials you’d expect at any decent accommodation, let alone one rated four stars.
I would not recommend this accommodation to anyone expecting genuine 4-star comfort and service.
Good except the key cards were a bit of a pain and the bar staff although very nice needed to be better trained.
Shower in my second room (12) was very weak and not always very hot.

Good size room with four poster bed and view over the courtyard. Plenty of hanging space. Decent size indoor swimming pool. Changing Rooms very hot, so went back to our room to shower.
Disappointing. My expectations were higher based on the scores. They only could serve pizza at dinner, so not a restaurant. And they failed to tell me there was a pub 100m away that served food. Walls were thinnsh, i had noisy neighbours and had to get reception to ask them to be quiet. Adjacent plumbing noises also went right though the room. Staff friendly and place was clean, and the room was comfortable.
