Nice but is about double the cost it should be.
Quite a nice quiet place but not worth anything like what they charge. There were stains on the bed covers which they came and changed straight away. Breakfast wasn't worth bothering with, hardly anything there on the continental option, we waited a while for drinks that didnt come so we gave up and left.

Gorgeous place with a lovely spa. The top to toe massage/facial was fab. Super quiet which made for a much needed relaxing weekend. My only negative was the mattress was really hard!
