Staff. Helpful. Choice at breakfast was good but unfortunately my bacon was inedible. Lovely coffee machine in room but no kettle or tea. Security pad on front door was hard to make out when it was dark outside.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very clean and comfortable room. Was not terribly big but did not expect that in such and old building. Our one complaint was the shower. It was very small (again, not unexpected), but the problem was regulating the temperature. It seemed like it was either ice cold or scalding hot - nothing in between. It may have had something to do with the fact that we were taking a shower in the morning at, likely, the same time everyone else was. The breakfast was excellent and the chef, Fiona, along with her staff were as pleasant and helpful as could be. Despite the shower, I would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it highly. The location, about 100 yards from The Old Course, could not have been better.

We stayed in the cottage just out the back. It was on the warmer side during our stay and so we had the windows open. The only downside is you feel somewhat vulnerable with the windows open being on the ground floor but the area is obviously very safe. Location was perfect. It was self check-in so no staff interaction until breakfast - she was lovely and very welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.
