So much noise coming through the windows from the rooms facing the car park. Beds not smoothly paid. Cleaning of the room was minimalist.

1 night stop

Have seen this hotel come up a few times and thought i would try it when i was working in the area. Being a golf club it has lots of extras, gym, spa, pool etc. The gym was well equipped with the latest tech, the pool area was lovely with a jacuzzi ,steam and sauna room. Clean changing rooms with ample lockers. The room was spacious with one of the largest beds ive seen, decent amenities, tea,coffee n biscuits. Great bathroom and shower. The restaurant was nice, the food was decent with plenty of options and great prices. A great place to stay and i will return.

I’d stay again in cooler months and not eat there

The rooms are pretty basic like a Travelodge, it didn’t have air con which it does state I just overlooked. The bar over looks the golf course which is pretty, the food at the bar wasn’t very good specially for the price.

For a golf break it’s ideal with other facilities to enjoy. We weren’t here for golf, but just staying for a wedding. The room and bathroom looked a little tired but for just sleeping in it’s ok. My wife pulled on her side of the bed cover to get in and the bedside cabinet draw came out completely landing on her foot bruising it. The breakfast was good and staff were nice.

Great room!

Room is great. Would go as far to say as looked better than the photos which is rare. Only downside was that there is no mini fridge which was disappointing. But would for sure stay again if I’m in the area!

Overall feedback

Tidy room but unfortunately housekeeping had left some rubbish on the floor from the previous occupants. The road at the front is very busy and noisy from about 5.30 a.m. onwards disturbing our sleep. Otherwise the stay was okay.

You are captive to the hotel as there is nothing else close by other than driving. This may explain the varied service level. The female staff were friendly and very helpful while the male staff were arrogant and rude. There is no AC and for some reason the room i had was so hot and the worst of all the rooms our group had. While the area is beautiful and the rooms were good - the stairwell areas had cobwebs at the windows and doors so made you wonder the cleanliness of the hotel. Struggle to say i would recommend staying here.

Concert

Our room was right opposite the housekeeping room, so was noisy in the morning, also could hear people talking in next room late evening. We paid extra for early check-in but had to wait nearly 15mins until room was ready. Note, we rang prior to advise hotel of our request. Staff were friendly and there are good facilities.
