AFTERNOON TEA

“We celebrated a lovely afternoon tea for a group of four. Our table was beautifully presented, and the lovely ladies serving us made the experience extra special. They provided a detailed explanation of our sandwiches and cakes, which was very thoughtful. Despite the warm weather, they maintained their cheerful demeanor, constantly ensuring we were well taken care of. We felt welcomed and cherished throughout the entire experience.” view full review

Break away

“I booked a two-night stay to enjoy some much-needed relaxation and pampering. The pool area was a highlight for me, with ample lounging space and a tranquil atmosphere. I spent a majority of my second day in the spa, indulging in fantastic treatments tailored to my needs. The friendly and accommodating spa staff further enhanced my experience, making it precisely the blissful retreat I had hoped for.” view full review

Executive Comfort

“I had a king executive room that was spacious and well-designed. It featured a large double bed, efficient heating controls, and nice thick curtains that blocked out the light perfectly. The bathroom had a luxurious four-piece suite complete with underfloor heating and a powerful shower, which made for a refreshing experience each morning. The only minor drawback was the limited number of plug sockets near the bed, but it provided a cozy and comfortable atmosphere overall.” view full review

Enjoyable Pool Experience

“I enjoyed my time in the swimming pool, which was well-maintained and offered a refreshing escape. Although it was busy upon my arrival, I appreciated the clear communication regarding health and safety regulations. After some time relaxing in the pool area, I felt rejuvenated and ready to tackle the day's activities, marking it as a great addition to my stay.” view full review
