We just popped in for an early supper. It was the best burger I've had for many years. Full of flavour and a good portion. The wife had ramekins which was also delicious.

Great stay, absolutely stunning building and location. The reception staff were excellent, really attentive and friendly. Only slight criticism is that the pool closes at 8 on Saturdays rather than 9, which would be good except it's only adults only from 7pm, if you're after a bit of down time without children running around you might be better staying on a week night when facilities are open a little later, but then we usually stay in adult only hotels. Overall a lovely hotel, lovingly decorated and maintained.

Stunning location! This was bought as a gift so we didn't know what to expect. We were lucky to arrive on a crisp blue skies day. The hotel is easily accessible and free parking. The new extension which included a second spa and rooms were available to us. This has been done to a very high standard. The room was contemporary with modern accessories. We enjoyed the spa and wish we could of had longer.

The treatments however are pricey and for usual spa and treatment couple we were put off. Bar and restaurant staff were attentive, friendly and the food was delicious (also large portions) We like the different rooms in the original part of the hotel, it meant you can get your drinks and choose your level or atmosphere. Our only negative is the garden room (222) is situated above the spa area. This made the room very warm at night.

Had a lovely stay, really nice new spa in the adults area. Food was amazing. recommend the ham hock to start and the sharing chateaubriand for main. Washed down with wine and cocktails. stuffed. Also they made the effort to create other cocktails that wasn't on the menu. The service was exceptional and great location and scenery. Would recommend for a short relaxing break.

The most relaxing and perfect stay! We had a room looking over the river with beautiful interiors and a relaxed feel to it. We booked for the thermal spa which was very therapeutic, I just wished I have booked in for a massage too as the therapy Rooms and offerings seemed amazing. You can get drinks from the bar to bring into the spa which was also really enjoyable and luxury products to use when you shower! Staff were very attentive and friendly in all areas of the business! Perfect stay thank you!

We stayed at this Hotel this weekend and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff were so friendly, the food was brilliant and nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff at the hotel. It was lovely to see that the hotel was so accommodating to all of its guests. The room was fantastic and kept well maintained. I would recommend staying here!
