Need £1 for lockers, already knew this from reviews. If you need a towelling robe it costs £5.Towels given. I thought it was too much for a robe would prefer a deposit but I guess some are not returned.

This was an excellent stay - the food was great and so were the bedrooms. The facilities were great, too. Unfortunately, despite the staff’s best efforts, they could not cope with the number of guests and there were countless occasions where our plates were left, desserts were forgotten, and payment was not being taken on time. 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. One morning, the location of breakfast had changed and nobody had been notified.

We arrived early not expecting our rooms to be ready but they were so we were pleasantly surprised. The Hotel has really tried to make the guests safe against Covid 19 with hand sanitisers placed everywhere and face masks worn by all the staff. The rooms had seals on the door to show nobody had entered since it had been cleaned. We were on a golf break so we didn’t have time to experience the pool and spa but we will lengthen our stay if we go again. The food was lovely, we had a dinner in the restaurant and it we couldn’t fault it. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only negative is that the bathroom could do with upgrading. We will certainly go again.

Really enjoyable, greens ran fast but probably time of year (November 2021) was informed that trolleys were not allowed to be used for this time of year, disappointed to see when we got there this was not the case - so had to carry for 3 rounds on consecutive days. But overall great course and great condition! Take additional balls for hole 6 and 9, they are big lakes! Would definitely return.

Very flat course. Quite short. Took 3 hrs. Few more challenging holes over first 9 holes. Reflected in handicap index. Not many on course, so no hold ups. Nobody in Pro shop to give score card or guidance had to go to spa reception. Thought this needs addressing as not very welcoming.

A nice easy walking course for our society who are mostly 60 plus in age. Some of the green were suffering from disease and the tees were a bit tatty but overall the course was good value for money. I would question the yardages on the tee boxes. Some were way out. There is no way that the 7th is 230 yards!!

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. Needed to slot us into a busy first tee. Course is very basic, we enjoyed it, but it’s definitely nothing special.

Really enjoyed the course. Shortish (par 67) but plenty of variety: trees, water etc. The greens had recently been treated so not yet at their best, so difficult to give more stars but I imagine they are usually pretty good. Not all the party were regular golfers so it was just right for our golf break: accessible for higher handicaps and a variety of challenges for lower handicaps. Will happily book another golf break there in the future.

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.

Although the course is still relatively new there are some beautiful holes. Especially the Par threes. Once the trees have established this will define the fairways and gradually make the course more difficult. The greens are small targets so you need to be accurate!
