Beautiful from the outside lovely greetijg from Outside doorman set the tone but unfortunately went downhill from here, queue for reception, left standing for some time no offer of seats whilst waiting. No offer to bring bags to rooms. Ordered drinks in lobby bar bottle of champagne cheap champagne flutes no coasters and when we asked for some we were told there are none!? Not even napkins to put under our glasses. Service slow had to keep getting up to get service. And then Drinks then served one by one not all together. Very disappointing. Food in Kathleen’s excellent if this could only be replicated in service and across all touch points. Breakfast in outside club house. Underwhelming experience. Overall not a five star but five star prices. Very disappointing.

Superb experience in Kathleen’s Kitchen this evening, incredible braised beef paired with excellent Rioja thanks to Sommelier Alex. Level and quality of service and food of the highest standard.

My sister and I had a fabulous midweek break. The location is beautiful and the atmosphere in the hotel is relaxing and friendly. The staff throughout are welcoming and helpful especially Anna in the beautiful lounge and Brian the brilliant Concierge. We'll be back!!
