"We had a fantastic two night stay 11th-13th Sept. The new outdoor facilities were incredible and the hotel decor was stunning. We had a lovely couples massage which we both enjoyed. Staff couldnt have been more helpful & friendly. We had dinner at the Garden Grill and while the food was delicious we opted for a local pub for dinner on the second night as we felt the menu choice was limited. Otherwise we could not fault it. Hope we'll be back."
