"The hotel was great, and the hot tub in the room was perfect. We stayed at a time when the outdoor spa was being renovated so the indoor spa was full, but the hot tub in our room made up for it completely. It would have been a shame otherwise. The room was very high quality."

10/10 Excellent
"The room was spacious and clean, bath robes and slippers, complementary drinks, tea and coffee machine in the room. The bed was very comfortable and big and the shower pressure was amazing. They have a small spa, sometimes there's no one in there and you can have it all to yourself. It was a charming place and probably one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. Special thanks to the staff, who are caring and always happy to help. Cannot wait to visit again."
