    Few bugs/flies (dead) by the window on arrival but expected in a hotel surrounded by woods. No big deal and cleaned it off the window sill.

    Beautiful grounds, excellent staff, lovely restaurants. Bedding was very comfortable and the room was nicely spacious. Cottonmill Spa was also exceptional and would highly recommend the treatments.

    Omboo, the new restaurant was in a muddle! I’ll let the management team know directly rather than feedback here.

    Location is perfect and the spa. Room was also very nice and check in and out managed efficiently.

    The room was more shabby than chic

    We upgraded spa access to the club at cottonmill which was exceptional and so was the food at omboo (though on the expensive side)

    There was a lot of building works going on at the hotel and the room next to the room I was staying in was been renovated and on Sunday morning there was a lot of noise from the room next to mine which woke me up it was very loud , there was a lot of drilling and banging early Sunday morning, which wasn’t ideal. My room number was 130.

    Having booked a room on booking.com. I wrongly assumed that we would be able to use the facilities as soon as we arrived, unfortunately you can only use the facilities from 3pm on the day of arrival until 11am checkout the next day.

    Well maintained, comfortable rooms

    the fact that the cards where not activated/changed/repaired straight away. that we had to wait 20 mins and i gad to go to reception cold and wet.

    The staff were amazing and lovely , it’s just the key card to our door wasn’t working on arrival, was reported but wasn’t rectified straight away as one of the workers let us in after he finished final touches to room, told him we couldn’t get in from outside, he said he would go and sort out cards out straight away, that it would be rectified before we came back from the spa, we were at the spa. When we got back room door card would still not work, mum was standing out side for 15-20mins with wet hair, dressing gown over wet swimming costume, i had to go to reception with the same, mum has a disability too, when she came home she had a flu, temperature…
