Breakfast was excellent 5* Facilities were good - 4* pool and sauna used but some of the loungers a little stained and a smell in the pool of poo which made us thinks the pipes were blocked? Stale musky smell in the bedroom but this was due to the hotel having been closed and heating was on but room needed airing. Overall this was a lovely relaxing stay "
