However, the spa experience was quite disappointing due to overcrowding and cleanliness issues. Overall, it's a nice place to stay if you're looking for a comfortable hotel with good dining options.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel during our recent spa break. While the surroundings were lovely, and I appreciated the beautiful gardens, my stay was marred by the condition of the facilities and the service provided. The room was small and had an unpleasant odor which detracted from the overall comfort. Unfortunately, the spa treatments we hoped to enjoy were unavailable, leading to a very disappointing experience.

The hotel has beautiful grounds and well-maintained outdoor spaces, making for a lovely setting. However, service was quite lacking, both in the restaurant and overall staff availability. Our room was cold and uncomfortable initially, which dampened our experience. The dining also left much to be desired as the meals were often overcooked and slow to arrive, which didn't seem to match the hotel's star rating.
