Great base to explore the area in good weather, hotel is a little dated if planning to stay and relax through the day. Breakfast was good quality and good service. Access to walking, running and golf fantastic. Could do with a revamp and renovation, especially the pool/sauna/steam room. Golf course looked in great condition although I was too busy to play!
