Beautiful Setting in lovely parkkand, which promised much. Everything was 'fine', but the hotel didn't really fulfil it's promise.
The staff were actually all very willing, polite, and friendly, and very responsive to any request. A definite plus.
Our room was very chilly when we arrived, and took a long time to reach a decent temperature. I don't like hotels keeping the rooms too hot as it is so wasteful, but this room was glacial. It was fine by the time we returned from dinner.
The pool and spa area were pretty reasonable. Nice big pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. All clean and pleasant.
The Zest cafe bar provided a fresh and tasty lunch. Although some portions looked massive.
The restaurant was the biggest disappointment. The package we had booked on offered a fairly limited choice, and the food was ok, but distinctly average. I was expecting and hoping for more of an upmarket restaurant dining experience, and it just didn't deliver. There was no atmosphere, and it felt more like being in a large chain pub for a meal. It's a shame, because afew tweaks would make a massive difference.
