Staff were very helpful, location is stunning and room was comfortable. Even in the heat, we were provided a fan and the pool helped cool us down. Travelled with a 1yr old and helped so many times, it was hard to keep track.

Clean room, staff were helpful & friendly. Breakfast was delicious, although the menu wasn't offered everyday, which had alternative choices on it. We had an evening meal there, which was amazing. Drinks a bit expensive though. Rooms are spacious & clean.

Great base to explore the area in good weather, hotel is a little dated if planning to stay and relax through the day. Breakfast was good quality and good service. Access to walking, running and golf fantastic. Could do with a revamp and renovation, especially the pool/sauna/steam room. Golf course looked in great condition although I was too busy to play!
