Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Nice enough but not worth the price. Gym was thoroughly lacking; dirty, old and rusted weights and weight machines. Cardio room had 2 faulty treadmills and a bunch of random equipment packed in tightly together. Room was nice enough but walls thin with the sound of children running up and down. At one point I randomly checked how much I’d paid and realised it was double what I thought! Maybe because it’s well known here but if I were to come again, I’d stay somewhere else. View was nice. Breakfast is extensive though the fruit is probably canned and scrambled eggs are made from powder. One of the breakfast hosts was extremely rude because apparently I committed the worst crime by putting my coat on a chair before ‘checking in’ for breakfast. She actually tapped the sign that said “please wait to be seated”. All well and good but I’d been waiting for a while and also no idea why she wanted to start an argument with me even as I was walking away. Sour face. Lovely people on the front desk though.

Hello Charity, Thank you for choosing us for your four night stay. We are pleased you enjoyed your view and the front desk staff. Our apologies regarding the breakfast host one morning. Our scrambled eggs are made from real eggs and we have fresh watermelon, pineapple, & melon every day.

The property was clean and well situated but seemed like it needs a little maintenance. We were in a Garden Room there was a hum coming from the bathroom and one of the hand towel brackets was coming out of the wall. Breakfast was good and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Great interaction with staff, beautiful property, spacious room with nice appointments. Kettle a bit awkward to use (cord attached to entire tray within a drawer, but not long enough to reach outlet), and room felt like it could use a few fixes (loose tile in bathroom, poor drainage of shower leading to a bit of a smell, and warping/water damage to table and chair). Overall fantastic stay, and very luxurious. (We stayed in a garden room)

Primarily our fault for choosing this time of year, but the amount of unsupervised kids and lack of quiet areas spoiled the experience.

"Room" for improvement!
Our room (Room 4) was a good size, warm, clean and had a very comfortable bed. The only thing that let it down was the ensuite shower room. The window sealant in the ensuite was black with thick mould. It needs replacing immediately. Also, the toilet roll holder needs to be moved as it presses into ones right arm whilst sitting on the throne. It also needs some shelves to hold personal toiletries, etc. On a positive note, we have stayed here twice previously with no cause for any criticism. We will return for sure but will be asking for a room change if it falls short in its usual standards.
