The food was outstanding in the restaurant. We also had the good fortune to have a room upgrade for my husband's 60th birthday, so had a lovely view of the golf course. The hotel was decorated for Christmas and there was a lovely atmosphere. We didn't use the spa facilities as the golfers were golfing and the non-golfers went Christmas shopping! We last stayed here 10 years ago for my husband's 50th, so it was very nostalgic going back.

Lovely hotel been here a few times now. Was a little disappointed this time could blame Covid though. Breakfast was included in the package but due to Covid restrictions they were only doing a continental and bacon bap left outside the room even though you could eat dinner in the restaurant. Not what a golfer really wants when they go away. Golf Course was in great condition and looked lovely only moan was the very slow play and no one going round to shake people up.

1. Before we confirmed our booking one of our party informed me that he had been advised, that it was necessary to drive between the hotel and the golf course, which is something we prefer not to do. As a result I did call you at the time and was reassured that this was not the case and that the course and the Hotel was on the same site as such no driving between the 2 points would be needed. It became apparent on arrival that this was unfortunately not the case and other than an excessively long walk of some 15 minutes or more, driving was in fact the only prudent way to get to the Golf shop to obtain cards, buggies and walk on to the tee. In addition the limited car park at the “Golf Club” made it extremely difficult to park, in fact on the last day eventually only made possible by a kind member of staff permitting us to park in a “None Parking” bay. The above made for a very stressful start particularly on the 1st day when we had limited time to get to the Golf Club after travelling. 2. On check in we were informed that there would be no Restaurant service for breakfast and that a pre-ordered continental breakfast would be delivered to the room in a paper bag! We had not been pre warned or advised by either Yourgolftravel or the Hotel in advance that this would be the case. The “excuse” given for this on arrival was “due to Covid”, however after eventually speaking to the Hotel Manager in the evening, she informed me that they had staff shortages due to an inability to recruit staff. Of course breakfast together as a group is an important part of the holiday, allowing an opportunity for social interchange and planning for the day ahead, delivery of a modest breakfast in the room of course denies this opportunity and was extremely disappointing. 3. It was evident that the operational arrangements between course and Hotel are “work in progress” as were a number of the hotel practises and procedures, for example being told that if we wanted to watch live sport on TV after golf there were a couple of local pubs we could drive to as the Hotel only had freeview! 4. Bar prices were felt by the group to be excessive, examples being £2 for a small 25g bag of crisps, £5.30 for a pint of beer and to add insult to injury a policy of “automatically” adding a 10% “Gratuity” charge to the bill even if you collected your drinks directly from the bar making what was already an over the top charge event more expensive!!

Everything was perfect with one slight exception. The Hotel, admittedly due to the Covid and staffing levels, could only supply us with a goody bag containing a pretty awful excuse for a continental breakfast. Hungry grow men require a good cooked breakfast before golf. This was very disappointing. Hence I can only give four stars for overall rating.

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.

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.

The greens were being hollow tined very late in the season, and along with the debris, and worm casts all over the greens made them virtually unputtable.

I’m sure there’s more as we found it brilliant. Cons. Quite a few Tee areas not flat/level. Some bunkers flooded (we had lots of rain previously though) Can be very very slow. Need a ranger checking on people to keep pace. We heard complaints from people who had horrendous stories. Hard work if walking with trolley or carrying as very undulating landscape.
