However, some reports suggest service inconsistencies and attention to detail could be improved to fully match its luxurious ambitions.

I appreciated the large rooms furnished very well, including a very large TV on the wall. The breakfast offered lovely fresh fruit and cereal. I enjoyed a full English breakfast cooked perfectly, accompanied by a pot of lovely coffee.
I found that some of the spa facilities could use some attention.

dated furnitureweak shower
The room i booked, a superior double room, felt quite dated. cobwebs hung in the corners, and the furniture seemed worn. the advertised jacuzzi bath was out of order, a sign stating it was disabled for health and safety reasons. I found this disappointing. the shower pressure was also weak. It barely offered more than a trickle.
