Room very dark and small. There’s no lift and the stairs leading to the rooms is very narrow and steep so good luck to old people with luggage. Food pretentiously described in order to make it sound “posh” making it expensive. The fairways are bumpy, not clearly defined between the semi rough and the actual fairways. The greens are terribly maintained. It looks like the main focus of the resort is the hotel. The back 9 is nicely designed and presented. The front 9 is like a simple plain field.

The staff did their best but possibly not enough of them. Evening meals took nearly 2 hours to get the starter. Can't understand why we could charge our room, had to pay for everything at point of purchase even though they'd taken the card details on check-in?? Room was good but certainly no better than others we've stayed in and despite being an all male golf weekend the rooms were made up as doubles not twins (Specifically requested this from Your Golf Travel at booking)!! Food was very good but too expensive for what you got, for the £35 allowance you'd have really struggled to get two course and a drink. Breakfast was very good however.

Where to start…. The hotel’s management need to take a serious look at themselves and the training they provide their staff. As a group of 8 men on a golf break our needs are quite simple. A nice round of golf, cold beers and dinner, and repeat. * Golf bar not open on arrival, opened about 11.30am * Golf bar closed after the round due to private function so we can’t get a drink * Check in takes about 30mins * Only bar open is the Champagne Bar but we are not allowed to sit inside as a wedding party has use of it for 90 mins. No draught beer so only a small fridge which means after one round of drinks our chosen beers are now served warm unless we switch and drink other drinks. * No room in the restaurant for us with one place closed for the private function the main grill restaurant is busy. Reception send us to the grill to sort it out ourselves as they don't know what to do. * Reception also told us if we wanted to watch England play in the world cup rugby we should go to The Bull down the road as their bar is shut * The beds were comfortable but facilities were not great * Internet ports in the room do not work so you have to rely on unsecured wifi * Toilet cistern takes minutes to fill leaving the room in a droning noise for 4 minutes after every flush * One person who spoke to a room cleaner had said about a blocked toilet and they were give the plunger to sort it themselves!!!! * No-one answer the reception phone when we try to call from a room. * I had to leave at 5pm on Sunday a day early because of an unexpected event so asked if they could bring my food (Burger and chips) early for me as we are sitting in the golf bar before a 4hr drive or can I get food and the answer was no !!!! I would never choose to stay at a Champneys Hotel if this is their view of a 4 star hotel. At best I would give it 2 stars.

The Hotel was clearly going through a staffing issue and many of the bar/ restaurant staff seemed new and untrained. We booked the grill for the second night of our family golf weekend stay, rather than the golfers bar. Ordering eight meals, one person was finishing before the last person had been served. I also refuse to accept that the wine list reflected the general cuisine with the cheapest bottle at £48. ( just silly) Might pay that in a good restaurant. The Hotel is also getting tired and while some staff tried, it felt a bit chaotic. But the weather was great and the golf was fun.

Few problems on check in. We got to the room after meandering corridors for 5 minutes and found it so hot ( due to an 'uncapped off pipe under the room') we had to change to the other side of the building - so another 15 minutes. Receptionist at first did not have the booking then believed we were one night instead of two and then had no idea we were on a package. Room was ok- bit tired. Bedroom window only opens 3 cms. Not very generous with the bathroom products to say the least. Most annoying part of the stay was using the spa. My wife had a massage ( extra £105) and was told by reception to get a robe from the spa as there was none in the room. However, the spa said they didn't have any although were unpacking many from the laundry. So after the treatment she had to put here own clothes on top of the oils. She was then informed she could not go to the spa as it was not included in the package which was quite embarrassing as the spa receptionist announced it to the general public. We had no idea it was not included and yourgolftravel never informed us. ( I guess that was why she could nit have a robe. Very unprofessional and penny pinching The spa was very impressive The restaurant served good food. Our package gave us £35 towards dinner ( also not told about this when booking). Bar wasn't great. No draught beers but just a choice of 2 little bottle beers at £6. Wine in the restaurant very over priced for what it was ( 500% mark up). They obviously are more interested in mark ups than satisfaction. The male waiters were great especially the ones two from Bulgaria and Poland who made our stay- thanks) There was a manager who did not seem interested in the guests. Over all we would go back but best to book direct

Although I stayed in a standard room - it was basic, and the feeling was an upgraded would be needed in the near future. The overall experience was good. The spa was very nice; however, I was not in the system as having access and had to debate with the front desk on a daily basis. The worst part about the hotel was the service. A number of the staff were very poor, I called reception and the operator on a daily basis and the phone was never answered. The catering staff were very young and inexperienced, I believe they were contractors but had no idea how to take an order or get an order correct. This was the biggest let down. Breakfast was not laid out on time which I heard some people complaining about. I thought food / beverages were 10-15% over-priced, especially relative to London and being a 4star not a 5star hotel.

Double room was adequate enough for two people. The reception staff were attentive and helpful. There was a wedding taking place at the hotel and they had booked the bar also, which meant we were not allowed in the bar, only to order drinks, we were then asked to sit in a reception room to have the drinks. We were booked in the restaurant at 8pm which is when we arrived and were seated. It was then over an hour before our order was taken AND the order for drinks was given. We had to ask for this and if we didn't ask then I think we may be still sitting there now. The service in the restaurant is appalling. The overall cleanliness of the restaurant was poor, cutlery and glasses were not clean and the room itself needed a duster. It seemed we just needed to ask for everything. We didn't bother asking for desserts as we didn't want to wait. The food was OK but again no real value. Golf was good albeit cut short due to snow (that's not a moan) and there was a 3 hour power cut due to the storm (again, not a moan) - ironically the service level went up in restaurant during the power cut, when they offered sandwiches - the first thing they offered all night.

THe course was effectively two courses in 1. The front nine was suitable for most golfers not too hard and you could make some scores. The back nine was so much harder with at least 2 of the par 4 easily playing as par 5, no chance of hitting the green in two unless you're a pro (in our opinion). This knocks the stuffing out of the higher handicap golfers to say the least especially in the wet conditions!! Staff in the shop and half way house were very friendly and helpful. Starter had phone in sick so some people took liberties say a six ball being played with 3 buggies on the same hole.

The location and views of the course were amazing, the back 9 was very boggy but I assume that was down to the weather and location of the course, greens were not bad but not 10/10 but we did have an afternoon tee time so that may not have helped. Only thing that let it down was the driving range was poor and for some reason had a massive shortage of balls for it, waited an hour for 25 balls on the first day, but practice areas other then they were great.

The golf course is a nice layout with the front being flat but the back being more hilly and interesting. * Greens, Grass a little long but putted on reasonably well. * Fairways, Grass was a little long as it looked like they hadn’t been cut for a few days at least. * First Cut, Ridiculously long. The ball would be hidden by 2 inches in some places when you are 2 ft off the fairway. If you want the pace of play to be good you don’t need people to be looking for balls for 3 mins every other hole. It looked like either laziness or lack of staff to maintain the course properly in that area. * Air compressor not working so wet grass on trolley and shoes end up being in the boot of the car as they cannot be cleaned.

The pace of play was slow caused by the constant searching for balls as the rough just off the fairway was long. The fairways were also poor, no run because they hadn’t been cut and in parts it was hard to distinguish between the short rough and the fairway. The course is beautifully landscaped with some delightful holes but the overall opinion of our golf society is that they wouldn’t go back.

Most greens have bald patches and / or large section of black moss. They played ok to be fair but haven’t seen worse greens to look at in a long time. Setting is excellent overall and the value for money is okay. Having played wychwood park in a similar deal last year we’d definitely go to wychwood over mottram in the future.
