Amazing hotel! But little extra thought needed.
Hotel location was amazing with views that are superb! but we wouldn’t be going back as the lanes getting to it are awful and quite stressful! Staff were amazing and so polite but not enough so they were overwhelmed at breakfast and service very slow!

Awkward stay!
Booked on impulse for a one night stay. On checking in i booked a table for 7.30pm to allow time to go to the spa. When i got to the restaurant one of the staff asked if she could help, i explained i had a table booked for 7.30pm but wished to get a drink from the bar as i was 10 minutes early. She directed me through into the bar area. When i got there i asked the bar staff if there was a drinks menu, he directed me to a table near by. Another member of staff came over and asked if i needed help, i explained i wanted a drink and asked if i could order from the bar or did i have to order here. There then ensued a rather odd process whereby i was asked where i was sitting (nowhere at this point) and i was kind of escourted over to the sofas where i was then asked what i wanted to drink (minus drink menu). At this point i felt pretty awkward! They then had no record of my table booking and asked if i was waiting for someone (i was a solo traveller) They found me a table but my food order took a very long time to arrive, a couple of large dogs were barking in the restaurante (not directly the hotels fault, i appreciate that) and i was only checked on once. I had planned to stay and have a relaxing drink but i ended up just going to my room straight after as i couldnt face the uncomfortable drink ordering saga again. There was also no info in the rooms re breakfast time etc like you would normally expect. Overall a beautiful hotel let down by odd uncomfortable service!

Utterly faultless
It’s rare to find a hotel that is better than it looks and states on its website. The staff were wonderful. The food and drink was amazing. Its remote location made it such a peaceful stay. Will definitely return.

Underwhelming! This property has the foundations to be extraordinary (especially given its location), yet the customer service is severely lacking. Rude staff on check-in. Room not ready at the specified time (3pm). No apology given. No offer to help with bags to our room. Room dirty with a stained bath, sofa, curtains, bathroom floor. And the spa, a small pool with 5 loungers is not sufficient given the hotel capacity. The food is severely overpriced and is satisfactory at best. Burnt food and poor service. For the price point the hotel is NOT worth the money. Do yourself a favour and spend your money elsewhere. There is much better out there at a fraction of the price.

We had a lovely room and view. Overall very impressed with the location, and style of the hotel. Our biggest grievance is the food that is very expensive . Sandwiches at lunch and cream teas in the afternoon would be a nice touch ,but at a reasonable price for both guests and walkers.
