Superb stay

Very enjoyable stay for a couple of nights. Had a single bed room that was more than ample. Nice and warm, good amenities, nice hot water and good water pressure. Very friendly staff, breakfast options were great and well made. Highly recommended, I will definitely be back.

From the picture and description I was expect to be able to have a drink in the bar and lounge, also to be able to get food. Non of this was available hotel reception is an extension of the golf shop. Booked for two occupants! Only catered for one person. No house keeping available to rectify the miss cups etc. this has been woefully misinterpreted from the website. I shall not be returning. Very disappointed

Reading some of the reviews ahead of our visit, we were a little concerned after we’d made our booking but we needn’t have been concerned! The staff we met with during our stay were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. Our room, although it looked a little tired, it was very spacious, clean and comfortable - and served its purpose for exactly what we needed (just an overnight stay whilst we visited friends in the area). Whilst some refurbishment is needed of the bedroom and bathroom, we found the cost we paid for the room reflected this, so did not feel we were overcharged for something we didn’t receive. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the area extremely quiet! We enjoyed our stay…just wish the weather had been better so we could walk around and enjoy the grounds!!

2 night stay, there was no restaurant facilities available after 17.30 on the first night so had to dine early. Second night dined at the local pub. Only 1 teabag each night! Rooms quiet which would be expected in the middle of a golf course in winter. Nothing to do on the complex probably due to the time of year.

It should be 5 stars but just isn’t (yet)..

This place is set in the most beautiful surroundings and the staff are wonderful, it was really clean and comfortable. The place has so much potential however am not sure I would go back at the moment. Our room decor really felt tired with a few things missing and certainly wouldn’t put it into the ‘luxury’ category, however the price bracket certainly is!

Needs an room overhaul!

Very limited instructions on arrival. The deluxe room was very tired looking holes in a dirty and threadbare carpet - unable to use bath or shower as the entry is very deep and even deeper getting out. Room very clean tho - no instructions as to wifi or times of breakfast. Charged an extortionate £50 for a small dog - one night! Amazing breakfast and fast service

Overall a good experience but issues with the postcode sent was to the incorrect entrance gate. Believe this was an issue for everyone. Nothing on the description to say the building/area was undergoing some work. Overall experience v positive.
