The old parts of the hotel are full of character retaining some of the history while having been sympathetically modernised. The new parts are in keeping and throughout, the workmanship is of a high standard. Some detail is starting to need maintenance.
The location and grounds are beautiful, however it seems somewhat soulless. It was disappointing that it looked like the only way to access the sauna etc was to pay for private sessions, and the fitness room only had four cardiovascular exercise machines, with none of the strengthening equipment I would expect.
We didn’t visit the restaurant as the menu did not cater for everyone in our group. There was a smell of drainage on our last day, which may or may not have been related to some rainfall.
The morning receptionist was very helpful and pleasant. I would stay here again, but only if I couldn't find somewhere else.
