8/10 Very good

Good location with and spa. Room OK with nice views over garden and hills. Bath could do with à little regrouting, if I am been critical. Also would have been nice to be notified by Expedia there is a £10 charge for parking, prior to making the booking, not after! Not charged if booking direct with Hotel. That said, excelent staff and will stay again.
