Nice hotel and comfy bed. Service is good and the rooms are pleasant with Elemis toiletries. The tea and coffee selection is terrible and you have to go to reception for milk.

Nice place, friendly staff. Very expensive wine for a basic hotel. £18 for a large glass and no bottles of red under £40? Didn't really fit the standard of hotel.

6/10 Good

Lovely hotel .. awful sleep
The hotel itself was perfect . Room was brilliant size , breakfast was good .. spa was amazing.. pool was freezing .. and good course / grounds for a walk were absolutely gorgeous. My only issue was 3rd floor seemed to be full of Children and while I don't mind them .. we had one next door that screamed the walls down for hours on end in the night. A baby id understand but he was 11/12 screaming and shouting at his parents who did nothing and at one point seemed to leave the room Not the hotels fault just don't think I'd put a young couple in the middle of a floor full of kids .

Great staff Lovely bed and pillows Painting was happening in the hallway so a bit off putting for a romantic get away. Breakfast staff excellent but food dry and cold. Location fabulous

4/10 Fair

Disappointed
Our stay was very brief but I feel I have to make a comment on the cleanliness of our room. The carpet required cleaning and hoovering at the very least. Previous occupants towel was hanging behind the door. On the plus side - the bed was very comfortable.

2/10 Poor

Give this a miss.
Shocking service again at this hotel. Seems to survive putely from the Golf Tripd and Blue Rinse bus tours. Use for work over the years and always let you down no matter which manager you complain to. A shame as the staff do try, but it is terrible. Sat for a half hour at breakfast and nobody even came to take my drinks order. Wont be using ever again. Far better hotels locally.

8/10 Very good

Stay was lovely and facilities, staff very good. We had room service try w first night due to late arrival and was good. 2nd night we went to eat in the car/restaurant but the options for children were nil, I would have expected some children friendly options even if just a reduced size/cost adult meal. The food on the 2nd night was poor, cold, under cooked and not appetising. The soup I ordered was totally different when it came and was cold. Otherwise a lovely stay. Good rooms l and the pool area was lovely.

Only go for the golf.
Overall was good, but really let down by the restaurant. Evening meal portions were tiny and expensive Lack of staff on bars and serving food. Pre ordered starter didn't arrive until the main course, despite chasing two people. Nice hotel but let down by the restaurant.
