a dream by the sea

tender staff lovely attention beautiful spa
the staff were tender, they welcomed me with open arms. attention to detail was lovely, a small treat left in my room after my spa visit. i found the spa so beautiful and it offered a sanctuary. the hotel was fine, it invited me to dream.
i found some issues in the communal areas. the absence of air conditioning in the lobby bar was noticeable, especially on the warmer days. i wanted just a little relief from the heat.

nice highland getaway

warm welcome prosecco bottle free drinks food variety
The staff was cute. Edward at the front desk gave a warm welcome on arrival, and the team seemed genuinely happy to assist with any questions. i received a complimentary prosecco bottle in my room for my husband's birthday, it was very appreciated. a voucher for two free drinks added to the experience, and the food variety available at breakfast impressed me.
the menthol smell in the steam room was slightly too intense for my preference.

garden exit room allocation
I was a little disappointed with my room allocation. I booked a sea view, but I ended up facing the garden exit. It was not what I was expecting. Late check-out was a nice bonus though. The gym was surprisingly good for a hotel. Breakfast was acceptable.
