We had an amazing mid week stay at Bannisters, it was a true resort style break. The hotel had a great vibe, staff were lovely and attentive and the pool and views were gorgeous. We enjoyed the multiple food options, including Rick Stein restaurant and the breakfast was so far above expectations for a continental style, I could have stayed all day enjoying all the options! Nice touches all around such as welcome drinks, water and sunscreen available by the pool. 11/10 would love to return!
