We have just returned from this hotel and were a little disappointed after reading all the good reviews here on this site. Yes they had lovely gardens but the hotel website and photos cleverly hide the fact that it is on a very busy road and is noisy. This is obviously more of a problem in the rooms nearest the road. Our room was smaller than we imagined but still nice. We also seemed to be the only room in the hotel which had air conditioning which was a blessing as the weather was very hot. However, other guests were complaining they could not sleep at night due to the heat in their rooms. The leisure facilities are really nice and the spa lovely. The food is good but the chef favours spicy things and even the carrot and corriander soup had what appeared to be chilli flakes in it and brought us out in a sweat! However, we noted that portion sizes did vary if the resturant was busy. We noted that on more than one occassion we had half the portions of other guests served before us for instance only one small fillet of fish rather than two or a pudding which had been obviously cut in half as they had run out. Since it is not the cheapest of hotels we thought this was a bit cheeky to say the least. Our advice would be to get to dinner early! Breakfast was good though, and the staff very friendly and polite. I think this hotel tends to favour those who go back year after year rather than the average guest passing through. On the whole we had a nice time but may try a different hotel on our next trip.
