What was Great: 1. It's a lovely countryside location. 2. Ample parking 3. From check-in to check-out, the staff were wonderful (special mention to Joe). 4. Nicely presented interior spaces 5. The room was well furnished, decorated, stocked and clean. 6. Pool, Steam rooms and saunas were excellent and the gym was well-equipped. 7. Golf courses were excellent Needs work: 1. Restaurant's evening meal was average for the price 2. Breakfast was decent for £18 but to charge a surplus £5 if you wanted avocado or eggs bene instead of a full English was wrong and unnecessarily disappointing. 3. Pool area was missing a Jacuzzi, which is usual and they had the room.

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.

Stayed here a few times ( on business) but this was not a good visit . Ordered tea for meeting which lead to 3 seperate requests for teaspoon for tea, milk served in a teacup ( which didn’t pour) then offered a catering stainless milk jug ( large ) after asking 2 times. Continental breakfast offering is poor for £18 with ‘plastic cheese’ ham as only option to 2 pastries and one yoghurt. Toast wasn’t even included as i was told it was only an available with cooked. Room was great and the gentleman in reception was very courteous.

4/10 Fair

Hotel room was OK little outdated no usb ports and only 2 plugs available, spa area of hotel was outdated and felt more like a council run leisure centre, food was terrible over £20 for a burger which when came was like a Iceland frozen burger, breakfast not much better and service really slow, Staff in other parts of hotel really helpful just seemed under staffed for size of hotel. My wife even found shards of glass in her drink from the bar which cut her lip, bar staff informed and was hesitant about replacing drink.

6/10 Good

Disappointing for a four star at 4* prices
For a four star it is looking a bit dated and the room we had was in need of updating and repair, (Room 317 - Broken sink). Great location if you are a golfer. The pool area was ok, nothing special, again looking tired, you only get a robe if you are having a treatment. Evening meal was nice, but restaurant was full of golfing parties and very loud. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. Totally disorganised, a shortage of crockery and cutlery and ran out of food. You had to ask for everything and the staff were not very attentive. Their main focus is golf, there was people pushing golf trolleys around the hotel, even into their rooms. If you are on a golf deal when probably ok price, but for everyone else expensive for what it is.
