We arrived on Sun 22nd Sept during a lull in the rain. We fully expected to be told the course was closed but quite the reverse. We were able to play the Hellidon course and had the option of the lakes or valley. We did not play on the Monday due to the continuing rain. However the whole experience was the best the hotel could do under the extreme weather conditions. Our evening meal and breakfast were excellent as was the bar by the restaurant. Would highly recommend this venue.

Wonderful staff with special mention for Craig, duty manager who went out of his way to look after us and remedy a couple of issues we experienced. Main issue was having to request for our party’s rooms to be made up rather than it being done automatically, not a good practice! Secondly, being charged £20 per person to use the spa when several components of it were not working, which resulted in me complaining and guests receiving a 50% price reduction because of this.

The hotel is in a lovely setting and and easy to get to. The evening meal was lovely and the breakfast well stocked with something for everyone. The bedrooms were ok and air conditioned however a “superior twin” was a double pushed apart with 10cm between them so that could have been better. The beds could have been better as they were soft and didn’t feel hotel quality. Now onto the staff. I have given a 3 star as an overall which is unfair to the restaurant staff, they were awesome, very attentive and seemed happy to be there. This is in stark contrast to the guy who was on reception when we checked in. If he was an example of the staff I would have scored it a 1. He was rude, condescending and spoke to us like dirt, every single member of the party commented on his bad attitude. Overall the value for money was good and the experience after check in was fantastic

A great location and lovely staff but my trip was marred by being allocated a room above a wedding reception’s disco which meant that the excessively thudding bass noise of rave music on Saturday night until midnight impacted on a fully enjoyable stay.

The Hotel was very busy with 350 Tesco delegates on 16th. Impression was that there were not sufficient staff at times at the busy points. There was a significant issue on 15th as the Golf Pro did not turn up for work so the Pro Shop was closed. This left the Reception to deal with angry golfers, some being abusive. The main problem was that booked or otherwise buggies were not available. As they did not stock electric trollies my husband was unable to play. We had a sandwich lunch on 15th.. I had a cheese sandwich which consisted of 3 ‘Kraft’ cheese slices. I did show it to the chef who apologised. The evening meal was really good and because of all the fuss during the day the Receptionist Hayley - worth her weight in gold - gave us a complimentary bottle of Prosecco.

with numerous golfing groups and a wedding, they need more bar staff to serve their customers, spent too long queuing. In addition with the football and rugby world cup showing downstairs in the sports bar, they didn't open/man the bar in here until gone 11pm when the upstairs bar closed. so if you anted a drink whilst watching the sport you had to go back upstairs. Apparently this is to keep the noise down for the rest of the hotel guests after 11pm, which is ironic give the noise of people up and down the corridors outside the bedrooms all night through to around 04:30!

Unfortunately this wasn’t a pleasant experience for us, the hotel lacked attention and we were not informed that the spa facility was under renovation so no sauna or steam room and treatments required at least 48 hours notice. Our twin room turned out to be a double which meant we had to move and we were then placed in a smaller room with no air-conditioning and no telephone. We had air-conditioning units running outside the bedroom windows all night and had to sleep with a fan on. The evening meal was very sub standard and when I sent my fish back for being over cooked and dry was informed it would be 15 minutes to recoil something (leaving my partner eating alone) so I accepted the offer of keeping the same meal! Considering there was only 5 people in the restaurant at the time it was appalling service. Thankfully the breakfast made up for it and our waitress Vicky was wonderful and friendly. No wonder she’d been working there 15 years she clearly loved her job and was perfect for hospitality.

I booked the weekend for my sons 40th birthday as a present, to be shared with his best friend. Having paid a considerable cost for 2 nights stay including breakfast and 3 rounds of golf, I found the overall costs and promised facilities pricey and misleading. This was booked over 3 months ago through an agency. It promised spa, swimming pool, gym, plenty of bars, even a bowling alley. But in reality without any word from the hotel or booking agency the spa and swimming pool area was closed for refurbishment!… The option of bars were minimal as the bar area in bowling alley was taken over by some high flyer on the Saturday evening, ensuring that it was as good as out of bounds to general public. After booking a bowling slot on the Saturday evening, this too was impossible, by the taking over of the alley area by afore mentioned high flying local celeb!..the only bar available was upstairs far from general area where we fancied sitting! Therefore zero facilities were sampled during our stay of 2 nights, 3 days… even the rounds of golf were slowed down and became frustrating after waiting on course for over 40 minutes on some holes due to in house competitions at times. The grounds promise good holes, but it looked tired and scruffy on some holes at times… some feedback would be good, especially after it was purchased as a surprise weekend present at a considerable cost !

Really sad to say that my birthday gift to my partner at this hotel was not the pleasant stay we hoped. We were horrified to find our bathroom had not been cleaned with the bath covered in hairs where someone had obviously shaved. It was covered! The food was good but limited.....but we were told afterwards that we could have upgraded for a better menu. Would have been great to know this before the meal. We were then kept awake all night by rowdy guests outside our window. After our round of golf on Sunday we returned to the hotel for a drink and lunch to find that all the doors were locked but no sign to explain why. Its such a shame as the golf course was amazing.

The hotel is very good. Iv'e marked it down for a few reasons, firstly we were given accommodation in the roof space, this presented twp issues, i kept banging my head on the valleys that form part of the roof as I had to duck down to get to me bed. The other issue this caused was the shower pressure was very poor, it just dribbled out, other than that, the room was alright. Iv'e just returned from Turkey were the overall facilities were excellent so I know a good hotel when I stay at one. The staff were excellent and special mention to the catering manager who went out of her way to help us. Breakfast was good as was were the evening meals. The SPA and pool was unavailable which was a disappointment to most of my guests. The golf was very picturesque and we all loved it, one criticism was that the greens were very spongy, they did cut them on Saturday morning which improved them. If we stay there again,. it won't be on the third floor.

For example we had to ask ref what our subsidised amount was and it was like an after thought, that should be an initial brief? Bread rolls had to be asked for and weren’t presented on initial sit down, that took over 20 mins to arrive and didn’t come with our starters when we really could have required them. Starter plates weren’t cleared prior to our mains arriving which is pretty sloppy in our opinion. At times we thought we were in Farley Towers!

Considering the recent rain the course was as you would expect, some boggy areas but generally OK. The greens were unexpectedly fast and tricky which caught out everyone on occassion. I was expecting more water hazards given the name of the course but it was the greens that made the course much more difficult than the slope rating would suggest, The down side was the pro shop was not open on the Monday so I was pleased I picked up cards for both days on Sunday. It also meant that getting markers for the longest drive and nearest the pin would have been difficult but as it happens the ones we used on Sunday were where we left them. Buggies also needed to be arranged at the hotel reception on Monday. It wasn't a great problem but it would have been good to have been told the arrangements on Sunday so we knew what to expect on Monday.

Ok firstly when I booked this trip I told the booking agent that due to age and health of the group going I must have buggies reserved as most of my party were not capable of walking any great distance I was told this had been done and 2 had been reserved for each day and not to worry as they had plenty of mor were required. I checked this was the case when i arrived I found out that none had been booked luckily we managed to get sorted on the first day but none on the second day and the pro shop didn’t seem to care to much just saying all the buggies had been booked it was only when the manageress got alerted by a waitress who asked why we all looked miserable that she intervened and some how sorted it so we got to play she also made sure we were sorted for the last day but because everyone else was walking on a very hilly course it was heading for a 5hr + round everyone was a bit fed up by now so elected to stop after 9 and go home early The other problem was when booking I was told it was 3 set of 9 holes so we would play a different 18 each day but no they decided not to use one of the 9 holes so we had the same course every day which is not what we wanted As for the condition of the course it was fine apart from the greens and set up for some strange reason the green staff had seemed to either cut or iron the greens down the slopes which caused any putt down hill stimping around 16 but uphill about 4 basically making it unplayable, I watched several people on the first with a 10ft putt knock off the green and 80yds back down the fairway this just added to a very slow round and to be honest it wasn’t enjoyable at all I have spent the last 15 years in the golf industry and have never seen any greens this stupid also one of my group is a national referee and he said that they would never allow a tournament on greens like these and he actually walked off as they we’re making him angry. The course apart from that could have been a fun track if set up correctly But I we will never know I can’t see any of ever returning Apart from meeting up with old friends who by the way travelled a long way from all over the uk , was a complete waste of time and money Everyone left feeling disappointed and hoping next years get together will be better This was the worst trip in the 28 years we have been doing them

The course is not long but the greens are very tricky. Most holes cut on slopes and lots of stories about 3 or even 4 putting.

The course has suffered big time with the rain. Buggies had not been used for months. On the 15th we were told that buggies were not available due to health and safety. However situation was not helped by guests having seen a couple of buggies on the course… issued by mistake by a member of staff. The real reason was that the Golf Pro was not at work, no-one was available to check the buggy batteries so people had to hire push trollies or carry. The General Manager was in the Shop on the 16th. Even with better weather there were many wet areas.. we were able to hire a buggy on 16th and got it stuck .. the greenstaff obviously struggled to have a cutting regime as there were large amounts of ‘farmer fields’ rough. The greens were difficult as they are rarely on the level and therefore were a positive contradiction to the standard of the courses. Such a shame.. don’t think we would recommend the venue for golf.

Some very challenging pin positions which added further to the difficulty of such quality and fast greens. We played the Hellidon and Lakes courses which were very good. Longer hitters will find this not so challenging but the speed of the greens means the approach shot needs to be good. No mention of the practice range on the website but they have one and it's proper grass to play off, not rubber mats. This is great, but £4 for approx 25 balls is ridiculous. Minor niggles but the courses are really well maintained and are a good challenge with some amazing views.
