"We stayed at Ripplecove for the first time, and overall, it is a beautiful property. The atmosphere is elegant, cozy, and welcoming, and we really appreciated the quality of the facilities and the attention to detail throughout the hotel.
Unfortunately, our stay started on a slightly disappointing note. One of the main reasons we chose Ripplecove was the opportunity to enjoy spa treatments, particularly massages. Due to some internal miscommunication during the booking process, we ended up not being able to get massages, which was frustrating and took away from the experience we had originally planned.
That being said, the property itself is lovely. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the bedding is very comfortable, and we also enjoyed the bistro.
One thing worth mentioning is that the spa facilities are a little more basic than we expected. Rather than a fully equipped thermal spa experience, the outdoor hot tubs are essentially two standalone, self-service jacuzzis. They were perfectly fine, but the setup felt a little less luxurious than what we had imagined.
The atmosphere was also quite quiet during our visit, although that may simply be because we stayed in early November.
Overall, I would still recommend Ripplecove for its beautiful setting, warm atmosphere, and comfortable accommodations. However, I would personally suggest booking when there's a good promotional rate available, as I'm not sure the experience fully justifies paying the regular price."
