This was my 3rd stay this year alone and there’s a reason for that. The staff are great, so polite, so helpful and just on top of everything. That’s the reception, all the way down to housekeeping who do a fabulous job. Already can’t wait to go back in the new year

Amazing Hotel in a fabulous position. Fantastic facilities run by Staff that were so friendly and made you feel so welcome with whatever you wanted to do. Very relaxed atmosphere at all times of day. Pub & Spa / Pool area such a joy and pleasure to be in. Can’t wait to go again.

Room was excellent. Food in Mizumi was overpriced for their offering. Charged us for water £5, not good when paying the over flared prices for the restaurant. Breakfast was buffet style, everything was overcooked and hard had been under the lights for too long and was actually cold. No offer of tea and coffee as you are seated… for a five star hotel at the prices they charge per night. Breakfast should be served…water in spa was cold both in the pool and hot tubs.. steam room out of action… all in all would not rate this hotel.

Long weekend birthday celebration
Went for a long weekend for a birthday celebration three nights four days. The bed was not comfortable at all and on speaking to house keeping manager the mattress were a new brand and not as advertised as a firm bed, topper added to mattress was ok. The room and facilities were adequate more storage area required and bathroom cabinet would off been handy. Shower head rail broken and leaked on shower hose, shower glass door leaked on floor. Hot tub on patio was amazing made the break if not for this would off left hotel early. The swimming pool water was cold and did not stay in long, steam room not working and had not been working for days. The spa treatment full body massage fantastic staff amazing and explained in full detail what was included and to be done.Main Hotel restaurant good food and price reasonable. Pub food at spa, to hot in pub to eat and food not good. Staff overall were fantastic always happy to help and nothing was too much. Staff are a credit to the hotel always went above and beyond,100 % to all. Would stay again if issues sorted.

Fantastic First Visit
Was made to feel very welcome from driving through the gate to leaving, the attention to detail left no stone unturned cleanliness was top notch and so was all the staff could not have asked for anything more.
