All in all my Spa experience was good. It was not 'brilliant' because of a big let-down: the lunch break. As vegetarian/pescatarian I was hoping for a bit of choice, however, there was only one dish I could eat (the vegetarian burger, the fish dish had additional meat in it). There was also only a very limited choice of vegetables. However, the worst thing was the wait. Even though I was punctual for my booked table I waited for 45 minutes after my order. Only when I asked if they had forgotten me, I received an explanation and was offered a complimentary drink. The meal then arrived about 5 minutes later. Have you ever waited in a normally heated restaurant for this period of time, in a damp bathrobe (in February)? This really takes quite a bit out of the relaxation. Apart from the therapist who was excellent, most of the staff was friendly - if asked - but not very forthcoming. You could be seen wandering around, looking for a way to get into the Spa Garden, but only if you specifically addressed staff, they would help out. - A good experience, but I had hoped for 'excellent', which was rare on this day.

we stayed here years back, they came out to meet the car, and treated us like royalty. we felt so special, so 6 years later we went again.
This time... it just seemed money hungry. An hour extra lie in ? £20 . No paper in am, despite asking, then later the wrong one. shower didn't have hot water, wrong breakfast and cold toast.
small details but we paid £700 and came away feeling it was.... ok.
