Hilltop Accommodation

Pros: Hilltop location and views.
Cons: Instructions in room for phone and coffee machines, check to see all items in room are present. Ability to better use the main lodge as a guest.
We were looking forward to escaping for a night and had splashed out on what for us, was expensive accommodation. Upon arrival we had it confirmed that the Restaurant wasn't open for dinner, this was indicated on their web and once we saw how far away from Warkworth the location was we thought it was disappointing that something wasn't on offer as there seemed to be a lot of people staying. Great pool, gym and facilities. We felt the venue needed to decide if it was luxury accommodation or not though. Our tap had to be repaired, there was no iron with the ironing board in the room and no instructions on how to operate the phone or the coffee machine which was french. The cleaning and reception staff were lovely though. Breakfast was supplied and was ok. We just felt for the price that we expected a lot more.
