This is a SPA hotel located in a quiet countryside. The staffs are friendly and helpful. The reception lady was nice to show us around after check-in. The down side was the dinner at the hotel restaurant which was not many choices from the manual and Bar. And the taste of the food was so so.

Lovely hotel, grounds and food

It’s a beautiful hotel with a lovely pool/spa area too. We stayed in a Treehouse Room which was lovely but 3 floors was a bit of a pain, wouldn’t stay in that room type again but happily at the hotel. Food and drink was also excellent.

A great stay in a wonderful place. The setting was lovely and the food brilliant. The spa was great too - but it was a shame that the staff seemed so inexperienced / unaware of how the systems worked there. Apart from this frustration, everything else was brilliant.

The food in the restaurant was delicious, service impeccable and attention to detail really impressive. At check in, George was welcoming, friendly, professional and pleasant.

Beautiful hotel in a lovely location. We were there for a spa and although the indoor pool was actually closed that day thankfully the weather was great and the outdoor pool lovely. Room was lovely with a great private terrace. Service in the restaurant & bar also very good. Autumn made us the best margarita and was so friendly like all the team. Highly recommend
