This is our third visit and it was nothing less than spectacular. The hotel and amenities are top-notch, the staff and customer service is second to none. The complementary breakfast is outstanding and the restaurants and pub are fantastic. The location cannot be beat. I can’t say enough positive things about each individual staff member who is beyond courteous, kind, and friendly. I cannot wait to return once again.

Property was taken from my room during a room transfer and disappeared. We contacted the hotel twice and they did not respond. When we tried to follow up we were hung up on before anyone actually said hello. I assume they think we are out of town and the best way to deal with it is to ignore it. It was simple inquiry, we weren’t asking for anything. Also noticed they overcharged me for a bottle of wine by £20.
