The hotel was well presented. The room was clean, comfortable and well furnished. Negative issue was prolonged check in - around 20 mins. Automatic doors created a barrier to the waiting guests. Only one small lift. Golfers and guests dont mix easily, and a feeling that the golfers were more important.

Nice hotel

Clean room, nice pool perfect for children, very friendly staff at reception and breakfast. We had awful dinner in the Restaurant on the first night, they messed up half of the order, no one came to ask us how our food was, we waited over an hour for one of our main courses, we called the waiters several times, at the end supervisor came, and they argued with us that nothing was messed up. We didn't visit the restaurant for dinner anymore.

The hotel is clean but the pool and spa areas and the rooms all were tired and need updating. We waited over 2 hours for food in the restaurant and we were on a DBB rate but everything had supplements so I don’t think we saved any money and the menu was significantly more limited. Staff were friendly.

Walked a marathon to our room and found even after upgrading a room overlooking a building. I complained and we were moved to another room. Condition of room really poor. I was told we would receive a platter and free drink at the bar but the platter did not arrive! Complained again and when it did finally arrive it was something and nothing just three incredibly small cakes. People running outside our room in the early hours. There was an event going on and it literally took up the whole hotel. So noisy and breakfast was awful. The food at the hotel especially the buffett was terrible. We ate out all the time. Will never stay again.

The hotel was very busy so small queue on checking in but huge queue for breakfast. Bed was a little too soft for me and I don't like feather pillows, but that is a personal view.

Poor Experience in the Restaurant!!

Exceptionally poor experience in the restaurant. Was prompted to book into the restaurant when booking the room and did so. On arrival, we were told, despite advertising a large board for the full menu in reception, that only a buffet was available at £35 per head. This was NOT the case as we then found out other guests were dining off the full menu in the bar. We even questioned the buffet when being seated and then got charge 12.5% service charge!
