The breakfast was not as spectacular as I had expected. And the gluten free options were poor. The price of drinks in the bar are eye watering. And the pool area could do with a revamp. Also bizarrely there were 7 pool beds.

We stayed last Nov & didn’t have a great stay, mainly issues with the spa, cleanliness & spa staff. However stayed a couple of weeks ago & was great. Different girls on Spa desk who were lively. Used the gym - 1st class & had the place to myself. Pool pretty good, still needs a bit more frequent tidying up & attention to detail around the edges. Breakfast amazing, staff up there have always been 1st class. Beautiful setting as always ⭐️
