Deposit never returned.

The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because everytime I come here there's always an issue with the deposit. Last time they took the full £150 and never refunded it despite there being no damage. This time they charged from our deposit even though we paid all our food & drink bills in full at time of purchase. On both occasions we still haven't gotten the money back despite calling and emailing several times. It's a shame if it wasn't for this everything else was great, the menu is amazing the restaurant staff are lovely and our room was clean and comfortable.

Had a very relaxing time here after my flight. Booked a suite and it was very comfortable and spacious. The tea and coffee facilities were above par. The access to the spa was much needed. The pool was great and the sauna and steam room very relaxing. Dinner options are a little overpriced but thats to be expected. The breakfast was varied and tasty. The staff were all very profesional and courteous. Will definitely stay again.

Great for a Valentines Day Stay

We have stayed here more than once as a couple and the stay has always been great. This time we went on Valentines and it was very busy (bear in mind for the review) The highlights are the room, the food from the restaurant downstairs (especially breakfast) and the facilities nearby (Cinema and Restaurants less than 5 minutes). The downsides are the parking is underground and convenient but there aren’t many spaces and the ones that are there are very tight. The pool was also extremely busy last we were there. I can’t speak to the treatments as they were all booked up. Overall it was very positive and would stay again albeit when it is less busy next time
