Positive: The staff were great, the hotel and grounds itself were lovely and peaceful. Pool was nice and clean and changing areas were clean. The geoujds were gorgeous. The food in the Vault bar was gorgeous. We had macaroni, handout fresh chips, sweet potato fries and the monk fish. We jsut jad some light bites as it was late afternoon

Negative: The breakfast team were a bit slow and a bit clumsy. ( girl carrying dish towel dipped her towel in my tea by accident as she wasnt paying attention when outting food down) They weren't as friendly as the reception staff. Breakfast that I paid for in my stay wasn't great - was served with only a little heat in it and not enough of it tbh. Coffee machine coffee would be better than filter too for breakfast, Toast is brought out before they even take the hot food order .. I don't like cold toast
