8/10 Very Good! (1,000 reviews)

I had ordered a bottle of wine for my stay and never received it. I was never told that to access the pool you not only has to pay £25/person and have designated time slots but you can only go to the indoor pool if you’re 16 yrs and older. The restaurant is very posh and EXPENSIVE. Very limited in food options for families with kids. It was nice but I wouldn’t go back. 3 dinners, 3 drinks £118?! Ridiculous.

While the property is well situated, modern and inviting, the a/c automatically turns off after a short while causing the room to get uncomfortably hot. The mattress is beyond terrible and so are the pillows. Wish they invested in better beds. I barely slept while there, felt like I lied on a wood board.
