Overpriced. I honestly think this hotel charges so much purely because they have a spa and golf course, the rooms certainly don't reflect the price.

Top marks for Keiran the chef!

AMAZING!!! The restaurant team were simply the best. We had our 7 year old grandson with us who has autism, and the staff went well over and above for us. George spoke to him, Keiran the chef came out of the kitchen to see him. Truly exceptional and in his words “the best night ever”. Service goes a long way and this whole team nailed it, even with our annoyingly awkward requests with our meals. We love a night away and I have not experienced service like this for a long time. The management team should be proud of a truly exceptional front of house team, and of course a special mention to Keiran for making it a night to remember.

Nice 2 day relaxing birthday break

Nice 2 day birthday break for my partner, hotel was spotlessly clean, rooms were well equipped, although a smart tv would have gave it 5 stars instead of 4, bed was exceptionally comfortable & massive, food was great but slightly overpriced we thought, the SPA suite wasn't the best but relaxing, SPA treatments were way overpriced for what was on offer, but we enjoyed our stay

One night business stop.

Hotel is nothing special or exciting but does everything to an acceptable level. Room was spacious and clean. Bathroom clean. Bed comfortable with good quality sheets. Breakfast choice is fine and the hot food cooked to order which i think is preferable.

Disappointed

Ok accommodation for a 1 night stay, mattress needs replacing. Bedding needs updating as quite rough. Room looks tired and dull. Bathroom requires upgrading, very dark and dingy, service panel for water pipes stuck on with blu-tak, not professional. Breakfast was awful, cheap ingredients and cooked to a poor quality. Staff were lovely, professional and approachable. For a 4 star hotel, I was very disappointed.
