Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel and lovely friendly staff. Rooms are clean and bed is super comfy. It was quite warm though temperature wise on the top floor. Luckily we had a fan as the room was very warm and a little stuffy. Unfortunately during our stay all the outdoor spa facilities were closed due to renovations but indoor spa was good. Just a little crowded at the time we were there so we didn't stay in the spa long. The food in the bar area is great. Good selection of drinks too. Will definitely recommend and will stay again. Only issue is that location is a little out of the area so bit of a walk to get into town."
