    I booked it as it had a spa in particular which was not available and one of the 2 hot tubs was not working and a specific time slot had to be booked which I was not aware of. When I stated this at check in the response was blasé well sorry about that …. Very disappointed with the lack of service at that point as I was not aware of spa policy having booked through booking.com

    The Location is incredible and views are amazing with beautiful walks nearby. The food was also delicious and the staff were friendly - Dylan at breakfast was a great waiter.

    Space was tight. Small desk barely fitted laptop. Room adequate for a night or two. Perhaps a little small if staying longer. Lobby outside restaurant a little on cool side. Perhaps use of hot tub should be free for guests staying in hotel. Opening times of SPA were limited.

    Small single room with comfortable double bed. Nice view over the sea. Tea and coffee facilities provided. Excellent breakfast. Lovely log fires in lobby and comfortable chairs and table to read and / or enjoy a drink by the fire.

    While we got an upgrade I found the twin room a bit small for two adults sharing.

    A memorable night away in a beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting with amazing food and drinks!

    The bathroom in the family room is quite small- no shelf to place items. A little chilly also. Our elderly mum was with us and struggled a bit with the steps- this may be helpful to be aware of when booking. However she made it and it didn’t take away from our enjoyment of an excellent night away!

    I love that it had character. Even though it was a bit like a maze to navigate- this added to the character and charm of the hotel. The food was amazing. The staff were extremely professional, helpful and friendly. The spa was relaxing. The room was comfortable although a little cold.

    There was a wedding on at the same time we stayed & I know the staff were tired from it but the attention to detail just dropped because of it. Also this is an old hotel so it means a lot of carrying bags up and down stairs which was no issue for me but flagging for anyone who has mobility issues.

    Beautiful location and nice base for touring the area. Breakfast was nice. Beds are comfortable and our family room was lovely and big. Great view from the room! Loads of towels, Voya toiletries in the bathroom which is a great brand and well stock tea and coffee station in the room.
