The pool area was good, and we'd come back again. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Toby 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My balcony room was overlooking the car park and got no sun which was disappointing. Outdoor pool is really lovely and good number of sunloungers to enjoy the sun. Spa was incredible, I don’t use them often but the massage was sensational. Breakfast kept running out of food and dinner seems a touch overpriced. Restaurant staff do their best and are lovely but are essentially untrained sixth formers. Nice place but wouldn’t rush back. ##### Toby Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely perfect stay here.

Will be back in summer for sure :) ##### Lauren Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### ROBERT 16 Jun 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Terrible room. Noisy and small. Apparently we shouldn't have booked the Classic room. Based on our experience I'd advise others to think twice before doing so. Most staff excellent but Reception staff could do with a Customer Care course! ##### ROBERT Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex 26 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Simply put, the best place I have ever stayed in the UK. ##### Alex Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dimple 19 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities Had a lovely staycation at the retreat.
