This hotel was the perfect midweek getaway for a night to get rid of the January blues. We booked a room in the estate section of the hotel which going by pictures gives you a more modern room and is situated within the extension to the hotel.
The room was clean, as was the rest of the hotel. There was everything you would need in the room. I’m told by my partner the provided hairdryer is the best of any she has used at previous stays at other hotels, so bonus points there.
I’m not one for Spas but my partner loves them. But even I was impressed. Outdoors there is a choice of two saunas, a heated outdoor pool and a hot tub. There’s also a plunge pool if you’re feeling brave.
Indoors you have plenty of relaxation beds and you can also directly access the heated pool via a sliding door.
There was plenty of towels during our visit as well as water, herbal tea and dried fruits within the Spa.
We stayed on a Monday during January and there was no issues using any of the spa facilities. On a weekend you may have a bit of a wait for some of the outdoor facilities.
We had dinner at Charlie’s and the food was good, a little expensive but that’s to be expected. Service was attentive and friendly.
After dinner we headed to the 1745 Club/Bar which is where we spent the rest of the evening. It gives a nice cosy, warm vibe which is exactly what we needed on a cold January evening.
My only negative would be the lack of a drink on arrival.
