Comfortable and efficient, great spa facilities

Efficient check-in and clean, spacious hotel. Great pool, steam and sauna with friendly spa receptionist. In the room, one thing I noted was how hard it was to find light switches for downlight / orbs by bed. They were integral knobs..and a random switch for an under-sink light was...by the bed. So tired trying to sort those..! Overall, one of the best little stays I've had for ease and comfort.

Morning, I'm not happy with this hotel as they have not returned my deposit of £150 which was collected from me last week. I was assured this will be returned back to my credit card during checkout but so far this has not happened. The hotel was quick to take my depost and very slow givig it back. Please chase the hotel for my deposit as i did not use any extras as I paid for my breakfast in full when I booked with Expedia.
