We stayed at this hotel as we were attending a family event there, which was excellent and perfect for the occasion. However as guests we left disappointed. The hotel itself felt dated with breakfast limited and understaffed. For a 4-star hotel we were expecting something more.

Friendly staff in all areas. Spa - odd shaped pool was difficult to swim in without bumping into other swimmers. Golf course great fun and in good order. Bar dining and breakfast - friendly service and good food. Three identical rooms booked through Expedia but one room much smaller than advertised. One couple unable to travel and no refund even partial was offered. (Genuine reason - Margaret had spinal decompression surgery two days ago for acute disc lesion!)

Good overall hotel, good food, and the staff are friendly. The bed was dreadfull, 2 single beds pushed together, which is a big no for me, very hard and you'd feel the gap in the middle.

Superb hotel

I was attending an event at the hotel and decided to stay overnight, rather than face a late night drive home. All the staff members I interacted with were extremely helpful, friendly and very professional. My room was on the ground floor and was superb. The bed was so comfortable. The room was large and very well decorated and very clean and tidy, I had a cooked breakfast the following morning and this was excellent.

Overnight stay

We had the loveliest overnight stay in a really large comfortable ground floor room. We had a beautiful meal in the bar in the evening & an equally delicious breakfast in the morning. It was so quiet & peacefully the whole time we were there. We never heard another guest. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. We would definitely stay again the next time we are passing.
