Spa Evening plus dinner: indoor pool wasnt warm enough, barely any lighting outside so couldn't see the facilities, sauna wasn't warm enough, hot tubs closed up early.  Treatment was fun but we did it all ourselves.  Plus side : relaxing and clean environment.  Dinner was tasty but tiny portions!

Service was extremely friendly but £250 for two for spa/treatment and dinner was not worth it given what was mentioned above.

*Spa Day and Dinner Only*

What a wonderful experience, once in a life time and we shall never forget it! The spa itself is verging on perfect, with possibly the best view and sunset you could ever ask for, beautifully open and airy, with so much light and so many plants and greenery around to really make you feel connected to nature and relax. The copper tub experience was lovely and very romantic, and the natural pool is something you just HAVE to experience. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful, with the details and touches added to make for a wonderful day.

Dinner was equally as good, with the service being the star, very very helpful and really friendly! The food itself was great food, some things better than others but all fine dining standard. The menu is small but covers a lot of tastes, and everything is at minimum good and mostly delicious. The dining room has great views of the bay too, with the ambience being lively but romantic once again.

I would highly recommend this to anyone, and it really is a great place to be!

Amazing hotel situated on a cliff top facing the sea. The staff members are a breath of fresh air, welcoming and happy to help. The premises are very clean and environmentally friendly. The food is locally sourced and fresh. Dog friendly and a large sea view.

expensive place but you get what you pay for, the food was world class and the rooms were good. To get the best out of this hotel I think it may be advisable to go in a warm season where its location lends itself to sunny days and clear nights.I stopped here for 3 days on my way to somewhere else during one of the major storms so it marred the experience a bit as there was a power cut at the hotel for a for at least 8 hours, this however, wasn't the fault of the hotel, who tried to be as accommodating as they could. you should be aware that some of the rooms have baths that are in the actual room and not separated by dedicated bathroom, this may be ok for some but we booked a room with a separate shower.....which still had no doors, wasn't really our thing, just personal preference really.
if you don't mind the above or the cost and you get the weather, this place would be superlative.
the location deserves 10 stars.
