Really good Stay with Spa and Grounds
relaxing walk useful map hot stone massage cooked to order choice
The hotel grounds offered relaxing walks. Reception provided useful maps. The spa visit included a hot stone massage I recommend. The breakfast included an really good menu with cooked to order choices. I had dinner on two nights. The special pie night had delicious food.
The restaurant service was a bit slow one evening, but staff addressed the issue.

The check-in experience was simple and easy thanks to two lovely receptionists. The staff, especially Rebecca, went beyond her duty in ensuring my sister was okay after an accident, even taking her to her hotel. Staff members were attentive, polite, and friendly.
