We felt completely ‘Covid’ safe. Everyone adhering to face masks. Breakfast delivered to the bedroom on time, hot & delicious. The room was more than adequate with a very comfortable bed.

The only comment I would like to make is that they didn’t have enough bar staff. We were waiting a long time to be served and some ladies didn’t get their drinks before we had to go into the restaurant. We were supposed to eat at 8 o’clock but eventually got our food at 8.40 and because the bar closed at 10 we couldn’t have a nightcap.

Hotel was really welcoming and friendly, unfortunately due to Covid the breakfast is room service only and continental which was disappointing. The pool and spa was also fully booked as there’s limited space.

Fantastic hotel, one of the best we have stayed in. Rooms were comfortable and clean. All in all the hotel was very good. Staff were generally polite and helpful, however the restaurant staff were less so. Although we pre ordered our food several days in advance, the staff had difficulty deciphering who had ordered what. I believe the whole process, from the request to order before the stay, to the waiting on table could do with a looking at. I must say though, in their defence, not all the problems were of the staffs making. Some of our group did not help the situation by not remembering what they had ordered. A simple place setting with the choices on would have helped.

I found the hotel to be in good order through out, with staff all ways able to help if needed. Bar was fine all though found price of the the beer a little on the high side. Food in the restaurant was ok if you had a problem the staff would do the best to try and sort it out. Breakfast was buffet and we found their was plenty of choices to choose from. So in all very good and worth the money.

The hotel staff were extremely professional, helpful and friendly. The food was good and the facilities just right. There is a short distance between the hotel and the golf club that requires the use of a car.

From the moment we arrived the service received by the hotel staff was brilliant. Food was great, spa was relaxing and the overall welcome was superb. The only negative was the cost of the drinks.

Left this hotel after a surprise birthday trip for my husband feeling rather disappointed to be honest. Overall the hotel seemed rather run down and customer care wasn’t a priority. After arriving we for a drink in the bar and it took them over 30 mintutes to finall get my drink after we had finished our lunch and my husband had also finished his drink, they then realised they didn’t have the ingredients to make the cocktail I had ordered so was brought out something different. We then went to the spa but was never told by anyone we would need our robes and slippers from our room so had to go back and get them. Once signed in we went into the changing rooms where we then realised we were never given a locker key, so went back out and asked and was given attitude by the receptionist that we needed a locker key and we should have known this apparently. The pool was over crowded and didn’t get a sun lounger as people had left their towels on them. Children were also allowed to use the pool so didn’t make this very relaxing. Facilities were average. Booked in for a Discovery facial for both of us, being a salon owner myself I know what to expect had had many spa treatemnts before. The facial was very rushed and not much care taken at all. Certainly not worth the money. Had a three course dinner in the restaurant that evening, was very nice but not a huge variety to choose from. Bedroom was fine and bed was comfortable but was worked up at 8am with a leaf blower outside our room. Breakfast was a buffet, was nice and plenty to choose from. Overall I wouldn’t recommend or stay at this hotel again.

Some narrow fairways and therefore quite a few stray balls! A bit muddy in places and of course there is noise from the road. Still a good challenge with sloping greens & lies.

A 5 hour round in both days due to hold ups. I think the back nine is very dangerous with flying balls coming on our fairway. Don’t think we will want to play it again which is a pity because the hotel is lovely.

Not especially long holes but the clever positioning of bunkers & water hazards made you think on what shots would be best suited to keep the ball in play. Greens were very fast (compared to our own course) and pin positions on some holes made putting a "challenge". All in all, a very enjoyable course to play.

Found the course to be very tree lined, so you need to be straight with all clubs!!. If not this course is not for you.The greens were in very good order on all 18 holes and were very quick,fareways could do with a little more time spent on them. The club house needs a little up dating but is functional. The pro shop is very well equipped. And found all staff very helpful.

For we, mostly retired gents, the back 9 was a tough walk, particularly hole 15; much easier with buggies on day 2. Greens were in good condition but we found them difficult to read. Our only real gripe was unpredictable bounces on most fairways - no doubt a leftover from last year's drought.
