Excellent comfortable stay

Very spacious comfortable room, aircon not working properly on a very hot day. Staff were excellent, attentive, polite and friendly. Excellent choice at breakfast, (£15pp) good quality food, but so-so coffee. Bar meal expensive for what we got, Mezze platter tasty but not a lot for the £20+ we paid. Gorgeous.grounds and views. Plenty of parking. Facilities great if you use them, pool, gym, golf. Great location just off M4. We had a vey good rate so it was very good vfm.

Unprofessional response to a customer's request

My stay was okay. The room is clean and spacious. I am not happy with their response to my request on early check-in. I sent a mail to them requesting for an early check-in around 1pm. They acknowledged my mail and told me they will review and see the possibility . Nobody got back to me and my request was not granted. They should have provided feedback to enable me improvise
