Disliked: Staff & service
We stayed for three nights, on two mornings house keeping tried to enter my room at 7.15am with their keys. Only reason they didn't get in was because I had the door chained. I was sound asleep. I mentioned it to reception expecting them to be apologetic to be told I should have put the do not disturb sign out

Staff were friendly, bedroom and bathroom were nice and clean, lounge area was not. I was disappointed that there were no dining options or room service options over the weekend and only on week nights. Spa was lovely, i liked that you could spin the TV to watch it from the spa.
