We were delighted with our stay at this hotel which we found extremely comfortable. The staff are really helpful , the breakfast was superb and we were served so well by Elli and Hannah and for a great dinner by Liz and her team. Everything is so well organised with tea and coffee on each table with flasks and the hot buffet is of such a high standard. thank you to all the staff who worked so hard to look after 8 of us who came to play golf. The Swimming pool, sauna and hot tub are just what we needed after a round of golf. Hot Coffee is complementary and freely available. Everyone on the group was delighted with the accomodation, food, service and facilities . Thank you Ardencote. we will be back.

We were often waiting around for someone The staff were all friendly and always working at 100mph but I would suggest that Ardencote need to employ at least 2 more people during the busy dinner times to alleviate some of the pressure.

This course looks small in terms of yardage but it is very deceptive as it requires good course management with many water, tree and bunker obstacles. The course is very cleverly designed and it took us 4 hours to get round and we all loved playing on it. It was well maintained, and in good condition. Its not very busy so we found the course very relaxing to play on. They have no buggies but it is relatively flat so most people will be able to walk it. we were a group of retired golfers and we all managed to go around on foot. We thought the golf package is exceptional value as it includes the great hotel, SPA and dinner and breakfast, a great location and ambience. We hope to be back. Thank you to all the staff.

I didn't go as I had Covid, these are the comments from my friends who went: "Course 6/10. Just a little uninspiring - up and down a field. Bit of water hazards to spice things up a bit. If any of us were playing half decent we could get a low score. A fairly forgiving course, not too naughty, flat as a pancake. They could have designed it a bit better I suppose than 5x par 3's out of 7 holes in the middle, followed by 6x par 4's to finish, which were a bit samey."

Nice and simple, newish course. Greens aren’t great and are very small. Some tees way to close to greens and the doglegs are short and sharp. Starting times were very badly managed. Absolutely no control of the first tee, which when you have big hotel groups, can be a problem. Despite my confirming the tee time earlier in the week, on the day they had no clue about our booking.

A good course which we enjoyed over four rounds/days. Nine holes quite different to the other nine. Looks like they've added nine which are much more open, less interesting with only very young trees. Course in good condition. Greens were quite fast, but could have had more grass. Don't be fooled by all the par 3's, most are quite long and difficult. Our 12 players only hit about six in the four days. The Pro shop is very limited and every day we had to phone to get it open, however they came within a few minutes. THERE ARE NO BUGGIES! Despite asking Your Golf Travel to organise at least one buggy for two members of our group for medical reasons, neither YGT or the club came up with anything. YGT never even replied! Two buggies were at the course being used by ground staff and a Course Marshall. The only consolation being that it is an easy walk, not too long and flat. Excellent value and we had a great time.
