room 131, a cottage room opposite the main hotel, was beautiful. every aspect was covered, i found the bed comfortable, possibly the best i have ever slept in. i will definitely choose this room again when i next stay.
i found the steam room lacked steam and the salt room was pitiful. the hotel needs some work on its spa services.

the staff were helpful when i asked to change rooms even if i didn't book the right one initially.
The hotel is overpriced and the rooms are small and outdated. the bathroom was also small and the wardrobe doors were too close to the bathroom door. It was annoying.
