Well to start off, we did get an excellent dinner, bed and breakfast rate, and a free upgrade to a refurbised room, which was well decorated, clean & contained everything myself & partner needed! The Spa facilities, although pretty, were in need of a good update & Clean. Restaurant service was ok, nothing to make you say wow but polite & quick, food was lovely, would definately recommend the beef wellington, rack of lamb, and steak, delicious!! We were checked in by a girl called Amy, she was brilliant, so friendly and welcoming, told us everything we needed to know, and reommended some places to visit locally, the following morning we were 'greeted' by a grumpy, young & disinterested receptionist, who I think was called 'Leo', when I said 'good morning' she barely even glanced up, let alone greet us or ask how we slept etc.... later in the morning we went to get some directions from reception and she decided to look over at us waiting at the desk and then continue her gossiping session with the staff in the office, when we asked for some help she snapped that she wasn't allowed to print for guests (wasn't allowed or couldn't be bothered?!) luckily Amy was back in the afternoon & continued to make our stay a little better along with a lovely blonde girl in the restaurant who I didn't catch the name of, and a lady called Kate, sadly on check out, the same girl was on so we didn't feel we had the chance to resolve this, but on check out all she was interested in was getting our money & getting us out.... Serious lack of customer service, maybe lack of training or just plain rude, who doesn't at least say 'good morning'? I would return to the hotel, minus her!
Room Tip: Go the little extra for a refurbished or higher

Thank you for your review and I am so sorry that what would appear to have been a very enjoyable stay was spoilt by one of the team, and I have asked for this to be looked into as a matter of urgency.
We are only as good as our weakest link and I do hope you will accept my apologies. The feedback on the team as you can see from previous reviews is excellent.
Thank you and hope we see you again.
Kindest regards
David
