Wonderful spa, good food but room too dark to read in and very noisy. Unfortunate because the position of the hotel is lovely. Would definitely go to the spa for treatments but not stay at the hotel

Recently stayed in a very nice sea-view suite with private hot tub. Hotel wasn't too busy (Monday night). Good dinner in the restaurant. Very enjoyable experience.

Great place to stay. But even if you're not there to stay its great for a decent evening meal with great views and the spa is pretty decent too. Both the restaurant and the spa have a verity of options. The staff are demure, but confident and professional. As someone who has traveled in a variety of places at differing budget levels I'd give this place a near world class status based on my experiences. My experiences of this venue are both drawn from pre and ongoing covid related restrictions and prebooking for the restaurant and spa are very much advised, especially in the summer.

Really sad I am writing this but me and my partner went to stay here couple weekends ago, the rooms were stunning the views were gorgeous, the food was lovely and the spa was stunning, however when I had my massage I was told to take all my jewellery off there and then so I put it in the pocket of my robe, completely forgetting as I put my robe into the towel bag, I then remember that night and rang straight away I was ignored 3 times by 3 members of Staff of the spa, until someone actually took notice of me and was lovely she rang me for updates to see if she found my expensive jewellery, I was
