Great location, and the Dee Valley Suite was spacious and genuinely private, exactly what you’d want. There’s a hot tub in the room, but my advice would be to check it’s working on arrival. Ours needed a filter change and was out of action, which was a real disappointment. To their credit, management did refund a portion of the cost, which was appreciated.
The main observation from our stay was the noticeable gap in service standards between the management and the rest of the staff. The managers were communicative, helpful, and professional. The reception experience was a different story, we didn’t feel particularly welcome, and the staff seemed uncertain and short on information. It’s a small thing, but how you’re greeted sets the tone for everything that follows. It doesn’t take a lot to smile. It’s pretty much the ABC of customer facing roles. The restaurant and spa were highlights though, with genuinely helpful staff throughout and good food.
There’s clearly a good little retreat here, but consistency across the team would make a significant difference to the overall experience.
