The lady on the reception wasn't the most helpful, but the staff in the restaurant and in the bar certainly made up for it. The steam room has tiles missing, but worked perfectly fine and the pool was a good temperature. If I was in the area I would stay here again

Improvements needed before staying again
Overall an okay stay. Car park a tad confusing but depends on which way you enter the hotel grounds. Be careful of old golfers driving at you in their golf buggies in the car park! I was hoping to go for a relaxing swim but it felt more like a busy leisure centre and people doing serious training - not relaxing at all. My room was a deluxe room, however no water or added extras. Bathroom was extremely dated and shower was covered in limescale and mold on the walls. Not to mention some of the complimentary Elemis bottles were empty - I had a “shampoo” one attached to the wall by the sink instead of hand wash? Heater was rubbish. I went for dinner in the restaurant and was told to go around 8:15 as there were two big parties in. I was completely neglected and forgotten about by the staff despite them walking past multiple times. After 20 minutes had gone I had to shout over for them to take my order. Felt sorry for the teenage staff running the place. The food itself was very good. I was woken up 12:45am by guests coming back to their rooms and shouting in the hallway. I was again woken up at 7am by people slamming their doors when leaving - actually woke me up in shock it was that loud. Breakfast times were earlier than expected so acidentally missed it despite paying for it. I think a finish time of 10/10:30 is more acceptable. All in all, was ok but plenty of room for improvement. Was very overwhelming with the amount of golfers and members using the leisure facilities.

Comfortable rooms, though some areas a little dated now. Quality toiletries. Breakfast if on a room only basis is overpriced at £24.00. We popped down to Sainsbury’s cafe instead - 3 minute drive away.

We stayed for 2 nights in August 2024 because we had a wedding nearby. The property has a stunning golf course, bed was very comfy and the staff were very friendly and attentive. However, the hotel was too loud for us - the doors of all the rooms slammed shut and it was constant banging from about 6.30am as people started on the golf course. Unfortunately the breakfast was also very poor, and far too expensive for the quality.

Lovely hotel overlooking golf course. Unfortunately our room was right by the first hole and the golfers were out bright and early on the sunday morning and not at all respectful that people were in in bed... we paid £172 for the one night and didnt even get a lazy sunday morning lie in 🤔

Stayed here as some friends getting married nearby. Paid £190 for B&B. Property is tatty and tired, carpets stained, tiles off the wall in the bathrooms, beds very soft with thin pillows and polyester bedding, no sockets near the bed. Very disappointed given the price. Would not recommend unless paying significantly less. Golf course looked nice and Brian the night porter was very helpful.

Beautuful grounds avoid eating on site
Food and service is a let down. Couldnt eat in the conservatory because they said they havnt cleared the empty tables even though more staff than customers. Food came out different to menu. A glass of wine is more expensive than a main course.

Shower room was needing updating as well as other area’s of the hotel. Had an issue with the evening meal, long wait as they mixed up the orders in the kitchen and had to return our meals as the steaks were not cooked as asked for was replaced was a little better. Overall quite disappointed when a few days stay.
