The room was not clean, first indicated by the stains on the sheets and the duvet. The wallpaper in the bathroom were coming off the walls, particularly around the toilet, seemingly due to water damage of some kind (this was a general thing in the bathroom). The shower itself was separated from the toilet which was odd particularly considering the floor in the room was all carpeted. The bed was NOT fit for two people and my partner ended up sleeping on the floor one of the nights due to the limited space. The curtains were quite far from the wall resulting in the sun shining directly in your eyes the second it started rising and even during the night it was quite bright. Overall I would not recommend this hotel mainly due to cleanliness and poor sleeping conditions.

Sadly Not the 5‑Star Experience We Hoped For We were really excited to stay here for our honeymoon after reading so many rave reviews from others celebrating special occasions. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t match the hype. Other than a quick “congratulations” at check‑in, our honeymoon wasn’t acknowledged at all, which was disappointing given how highly the hotel markets itself for special stays. Our room was airy, but tired in places. While the heated bathroom floor was a nice touch, there was very little storage and the sink didn’t drain properly. We also had to ask for a hairdryer, and whilst the receptionist was polite, the staff member who came to the room was surprisingly rude and made us feel embarrassed for not being able to find it. Whilst breakfast was delicious, it was confusing and not well explained. There is no price on the menu and it was unclear if you were paying per item or if there was a standard price and you could eat as much as you liked. The staff were really friendly but portion sizes were small for the price. Housekeeping came early on the morning we were checking out, which felt rushed. This was a shame as it was one of few interactions with staff. Overall, if you’re staying in the main hotel, you’ll likely have a much better experience and feel well looked after. But if you’re placed in the house across the road, it does feel like you’re an afterthought, which is a real shame for what was meant to be a luxury honeymoon stay.

What a great place to stay. Very central with a quick walk to everything. The room was very nice and so convenient having a washer/dryer right in the room. Friendly staff and having breakfast foods in our room for the whole stay when we checked in was great and they gladly provide additional if needed.
