8.8/10 Excellent! (917 reviews)
Booked and paid for 2 night stay at this spa hotel then i was told i had to pay another £30 to use facilities ie pool, sauna jacuzzi etc which annoyed me to be fair. Its a spa hotel ? Surely these facilities should be in with booking price. Pay for massages and treatments no problem but surely not for pool. But heyho had to do it or stay would have been pointless. The breakfast was cold so left most of it and didnt even bother the next morning. Such a shame because the hotel is beautiful and the staff were polite and professional and really nice. Unfortunately i wont be returning 😕
