Wonderful Spa and Attentive Staff

fluffy towelattentive staffherbal teacomfortable lounger

I visited the spa one Saturday. The pool area was wonderful and I relaxed with herbal tea. My facial was excellent. The loungers were comfortable, the pool had a wonderful temperature and the towel was fluffy! I really appreciated the attentive staff.

The room was more functional than luxurious, but I can see it changing with a few design features.

Dining

Wonderful Spa Break!

accessible spagreat breakfast optionshelpful stafflate check-in

I enjoyed the accessibility of the spa, sauna, and pool from the rooms. The breakfast was great with lots of options like Bircher muesli and nuts. The staff were helpful and friendly, always willing to go the extra mile (I especially appreciated the wine tastings!).

I found the check-in time to be late. A 4 PM check-in is not great if you want to enjoy the hotel amenities for a longer period on the arrival day.

Location

9/10

The location offers great walks directly from the hotel (the receptionist provided great recommendations). The hotel provides wellies to borrow and a muck room for muddy boots.

Dining

The breakfast buffet included cooked breakfast and continental options. The Bircher muesli yoghurt was a standout along with various nuts and seeds.

mixed feelings about this hotel

nice locationslow servicethin steak

the location is pretty nice.

Our room lacked basic amenities like a place to hang damp coats. service in the restaurant was slow. Guests were repeatedly asking for menus and drink orders. the steak was thin, not what i expect for the price.
