This hotel was chosen for the pool which didn’t work out in my favour when travelling and visiting with a ‘child’ although when booking the room said child was classed as an adult, so could only use the pool once for an one hour slot during our whole stay. The staff were nice and the breakfast was excellent.

we had a suite room and it was beautiful with amazing views, the only thing to let it down was the pillows they was so big and hard we didn't sleep, spa was nice we did the mud treatment and that was very fun, it is very dated and needs some new paint work in the spa but apart from that is was lovely.

I enjoyed a solo spa day & stayed over night. The spa day was excellent, very well organised, reserved table on arrival and reserved lounger for the whole day, jacuzzi, steam room & sauna were amazing. Back and neck and shoulder massage was enjoyable and the afternoon tea was really nice. Very friendly staff, I ordered room service; beef burger and fries which was great. My room was nice, the bed was okay, but overall it was a nice overnight stay. I felt safe. The breakfast which was help yourself was lovely, I sat by the window and enjoyed the amazing views of the golf course. I will come again for the spa day

Fabulous hotel (resort!). Pool is a good size, pool area is relaxing although a bit confusing when the ‘reserved’ notices have been left on from the day time. Peaceful area, quiet. Restaurant- staff are phenomenal (had breakfast and 3 course meal), very attentive. Go down early for breakfast- when not busy the food isn’t turned around very quick so can be a bit dry.

Very friendly staff. Rooms are very clean. Breakfast needs a little bit of upgrading. Scrambled eggs are sitting to long and then becomes very dry. Should always be ready to remove if eggs are no longer fit to eat. Dinner was good. I think more needed to add to menu.
