Positive: Great reclusive location but within 1km walk of the small town. Had dinner at the hotel pub and it was good. The coffee drinkers in the group were happy with the real coffee provided. Different pillows on the bed to account if you liked hard or soft.
Summary: Comfy stay

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Restaurant/bar onsite was brilliant. Kids loved the spa.
Negative: Allowing people to smoke onsite these days is awful, my asthmatic husband and son really struggled with people smoking outside rooms. The spa pool could do with some TLC (it doesn’t look very appealing). A heads up about the works would have been good especially as the builders were dropping the f bomb constantly in a family environment.
Summary: Great location but place is a little tired.
