We stayed one night in a Lake View room (No.7) which was a disabled room and not requested. The bathroom needed attention. Leaking shower rail and all the chrome fittings were very rusty, so not impressed. Otherwise room was clean and tidy but looking tired. Staff were excellent although restaurant service a bit slow.

The Hotel was really lovely, in a beautiful setting! The room was really spacious and well equipped. We had a four course dinner and the NYE party which was great fun and really impressive food. Staff were also very kind and helpful, definitely recommend!!

A lovely hotel with friendly staff. Our room was spacious, clean and well equipped. Only disappointment was the food which was stodgy and didn't seem fresh.

This hotel is an old country house which would allow for the quirky layout and older atmosphere, however, it was also in need of repairs, particularly in the en-suite and a good lick of paint throughout. Be advised that there are no lifts if you are accommodated in the upper floors.

We had a really comfortable stay. The rooms were big and spacious with comfortable beds. The only negative was the lack of air-conditioning and as the rooms were very warm it did make it a little stuffy. The only other thing missing for such a lovely venue was a spa with a pool but the service and the food, especially the breakfast was fantastic.

The room was comfortable clean, warm and had all the essentials. I was in a ground floor apartment in a small block overlooking the lake. Fabulous! It was a few minutes walk from the hotel, but I was perfectly happy with this. I took 33 golfers and all were happy with their accommodation which was spread throughout the premises.

Mainly in good condition, greens a little slow but ran true once we got the pace. Buggies a bit dirty and needed a good hose down. Pro shop staff very friendly and helpful.

Course lies either side of A34 so some walking between holes but didn’t feel too disturbed. Good tee options and better than average fairway, bunker and green condition. Good parkland course although holes not as isolated as some of the best.

The course was perfect for us, we had two great rounds with a lovely setting and great views. The course is very long and there is a lot of walking between some holes but very manageable, if you would struggle, I would suggest a buggy. Definitely recommend playing!

Nice course, some long par 5’s, hilly but interesting. The fairways are quite open so very good for a mid handicapper. The scenery is very good!

This is a very long course, our first round took nearly 5 hours, with a buggy!!!! I would not recommend walking this course unless you are very fit. However, even with a buggy, due to the very strict area rules, there is still a good deal to be walked. The shop pro was very helpful and we had a good laugh when the buggy cut out due to gps shut off in some areas allowing for only reversing.

What a fantastic golf course and what a test. Our party was made up of 2 low handicap players and 2 high handicappers. This championship course was a delightful challenge for us better players but the other two found it hard and long. You could tell that the course was just coming right after a wet winter but whilst it was soft the condition was brilliant, with lush and well manicured fairways (the ball sat up brilliantly on the fairways)and the greens were quick and undulating. The bunkers were beautifully presented too. We were warned that it was a long walk, especially between some tees, but we found it OK and enjoying it as it enabled us to take is the presentation of the course and it's surroundings much better. Overall, it's a fantastic course that suits the better player and one that could easily host good sized championship if it wanted - it really is that good and has excellent practice facilities to boot. My only issue is an average pro shop, lack of a starter on the 1st tee and a grumpy half way hut lady. That aside it was an absolute gem.

This was a fabulous course set in wonderful surroundings and was well looked after. I took 33 senior golfers including some low handicappers, and all found the course fair but challenging. Everyone loved playing the course. It was very senior friendly in that it was relatively flat. There was heavy rain for some hours just prior to the first round, but you wouldn't have guessed it when you went to play! The course drains exceptionally well. The only downside was that there were 3 very long walks from green to tee, and I mean very long, plus a long walk at the end. This spoiled the course/venue for our seniors as they found the overall distance too long. Also, it meant a minimum five hour round for a 4 ball even with no hold ups. On the second day several hired buggies which helped, and there are plenty of buggies available. But at £25 a buggy, we felt that was somewhat expensive. Whether a deal could be done, I don't know. Younger people might not find these 3 long walks such a problem, but I have to say that I have never come across such long walks in any other course I have played. A pity, because its a great golf course in very picturesque surroundings.
