I appreciated the setting. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful scenery, it is quite relaxing. I also had one of the best massages. It. Breakfast had good quality and the dinner I had was lovely and fresh. The staff was pleasant.

mixed feelings about this stay

easy accesshydropool conditionmissing reply
the location did it's job, providing easy access to nearby attractions.
the spa was a mess, the hydropool was out of service and full of dirty stuff, which they didn't even bother to hide. also, there were hardly any loungers around the pool, and the few they had were all "reserved" with towels even when nobody were actually using them. i emailed the hotel about these issues weeks ago, but i havent even received a response.

Underwhelming Experience. Room had issues.

The breakfast was good quality.
I booked room 121, but it was not available upon arrival. I then discovered the heating was broken, and the towel rail was not connected to electricity. Sky channels also didn't work. The heating never came on during my two-day stay, and the room was not serviced.
