Hotel was really nice, unfortunately the spa facilities were all closed. After a round of golf this was very disappointing. The bar closed at 11pm, again disappointing as the night was just starting & the facilities were closing. The lights in the snooker room didn't work, one cue, no black ball & the TV was broken. The detail is what makes the trip memorable

Decor is very dated, carpets are loose and have lumps underneath. Trouser press didn't work, windows didn't open. Door on arrival was hard to open and when we left the room it was hard to lock. The door itself looked like a hammer and chisel had been used on it. Overall not good.

The staff were not helpful and didn’t make us feel welcome, anything we needed seemed a hardship for them. The food was average at best, the golf course was in a poor state of repair, bins full of rubbish etc. We definitely agreed we Wouldn’t go back to Owston, disappointing.

The pool, and gym and spa have been closed since 2020 and are not yet due to open. We should have been informed of this before booking. As the weather forecast was variable, we might have chosen a different location. The staff were friendly and efficient, with one exception, and the food was very good. We spoke to other visitors who have been before and came back because of the quality of the food. The room had a king size bed and was large enough to still feel spacious. The 18-hole golf course is interesting with tricky rather than long holes. The course is generally in good condition although the greens may have suffered from the variable weather. Also, the bunkers need much more sand. The hotel overall is in a good location, with good surroundings, but the decor is a bit "tired". I suspect many hotels have suffered owing to Covid restrictions and closures.

Saw some less than favourable reviews — but some times these reviews say more about the complainer and you really have to go and make up your own mind. We were very pleasantly surprised. Obviously it’s an older building so is not swish or cool. Just very comfortable. All staff were friendly and the meals were excellent. Best value for money we’ve had for ages.

The course itself is decent for our standard. There was a large group ahead of us who were drinking heavily for the whole round. Lots of shouting between the groups, beer bottles and cans littered around the course. Play was very slow, waiting and talking on the greens and tees while we waited to take our shots. Told us there was no point in us playing through as there were other groups in front, from what we could see there was a least one clear hole between the group in front. If groups like this are allowed on the course, staff need to be on the course to keep things moving and sort any issues. Others behind us we're also not impressed.

The shop sold water and other drinks and chocolate. I did not see golf balls - but then I wasn't looking for any. There were no practice nets. The course is tricky rather than long and playing it a second time was much easier although my score was only 1 or 2 lower. There were distance marker sat 150 yards but some were obscured and I am still unsure if they were to the middle or the front of the green. On our second round, we completed the course in about 3:20, helped by a fourball letting the two of us through.

We all very much enjoyed the golf course. The 14th and 18th holes are absolutely fantastic. The greens were exceptional after the rain we had during the week and on the Saturday. Only thing I was dissatisfied with was the state of the bunkers and tee boxes. Not a lot of sand and tee boxes a bit long and not flat. Nothing to bad though. The tees were slightly congested and we thought a marshall shouldve been there to control times thats why the rounds were a bit on the slow side. All in all though very good and would return

16 ladies played the course and were pleased with the overall condition and layout. The greens were maintained to a very high standard. It was just disappointing to see there were no tees numbered making it difficult to be sure we were following the correct route. On asking why the numbers weren't present the answer was they are in the process of revamping the course and are waiting for new numbered signs. Surely it would be a good idea to place temporary numbers on the tees until these are put in place??

The course is excellent but the greens need some work, currently they are very hard with limited growth. I think the green keepers work hard to ensure routes around the greens are kept in good condition. Greens 11 to 15 through the gate are refreshing and interesting and make this course very enjoyable. Friendly staff and accommodation is value for money. Enjoyed the stay Penny & Wayne

There was no numbers on the Tee's The course has been changed and is not as good as last time I stayed. The fairways were non existent on some holes and this made it quite hard to get the best line. My GPS and my partners (both different types) did not work at all due to the changes. Finally there were millions of daisies both on and off the fairways, it appeared as no selective weed killer had been used this year.

A level course not too long so we as pensioners we were not too tired after 18 holes. The only criticism was that the tees were not numbered so to find the way round for the first time was not easy,and we had to check the card to see the map and check what the yardage was.
