the room was very small with no space for working. It was also very hot even without the heating on. The worst part was the location. It was at the top of the stairs and lots of people were having conversations outside my room and keeping me awake. I really didn't get enough sleep last night when I had had a very early start.

The room was clean but I wasn’t overly happy that the bathroom did not have obscured glass as the blind would be see through with the light on. The food at the wedding was excellent but breakfast next day was a bit disappointing - it took ages to come and my poached eggs were totally hard.

Overall our stay at Cooden Beach was really very good , staff were friendly and efficient, rooms were clean and well stocked and the food was first class . The Spa was very nice apart from the steam room being too hot and no way of controling the steam and the sauna had no control either, the floor was a bit too dirty for our liking and we considered £100 for an hour facial massage way too expensive. However we would consider staying again
