The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only problem is that on their website they say there is a restaurant with evening dining on site, which was a factor in choosing this hotel. We were surprised to find out when we arrived that they only serve breakfast. I would say this is more like a B&B than a hotel or lodge.

7.6/10 Good! (707 reviews)
As a gold member, the staff couldn’t do anymore to make my daughter’s 18th birthday anymore special. The spa was. Fabulous, outdoor jacuzzi amazing in the very cold wet weather and the coffee shop catered well for gluten and lactose free options. Our Spencer Suite was quiet, Newley renovated with stylish touches and a very homely feel, Eldmis toiletries and a fabulous deep bath and powerful shower, the pillows were amazing and 4 poster bed big enough for 5 people, so very comfortable. The view is the entire courtyard spanning 5 grand windows to the front of the hall. Carringtons delivered a delightful and exceptionally tasty and well presented dinner options. The main bar was quiet, lacking atmosphere and music hardly heard, which kind of spoilt the evening as we would have hoped for a more busier and a bit more personality.
