Stayed two nights here recently (Sat and Sunday). Were greeted with glasses of bubbly and there were lovely homebaked cookies delivered to the room at about 6 o'clock. Rooms are great with views over the river. Food in the restaurant is delicious. Staff are all very nice. I had a massage which was lovely and my wife had a facial... More

Spent one night here recently and although its quite nice, it is NOT a spa hotel. No Pool or water suite - one hot tub on a concrete patio and a few treatment rooms is not a spa !! The views are beautiful - especially from the contemporary style rooms. We were given one of the traditional rooms which I... More

Spent one Sunday night here. Staff were very friendly and despite a mix up with our bags being brought to the wrong room, were always eager to please. Room *Crimson" was very tastefully decorated but the highlight was the stunning view of the Moy river from the floor to ceiling window. Nice touches such as bubbles on arrival and a... More
