Look the Garry of course was terrific. The food overall was good. We were 12 for golf so the priority was socialising and golf. But the golf bar closed at 530 pm when golfers were still out. We teed off at 1115 so we're back in time other societies were not so could not get a drink or snack. The restaurant bar didn't open til 6 pm no lunch snacks or a lunchtime pint there. It also closed at 1030. So we could not enjoy the evening in the hotel. You can't put your expense on the room, cash or card only even though they took a card up front. Meals wer fron 630 to 8. We had booked meals through you. However on Saturday they forgot about us when we arrived at 730, all 12. They said it was fully booked even though we had paid already. After a fuss they found a side room and wavered the food cash supplements, you need to warn people that some meals have hidden supplements, £6.50 for beef wellington and £5 cheese board. actually the side room allowed us to be noisy but of course we were forgot so the meal took ages. The rooms on the whole were clean but really hot. The windows only opened an inch. Our room had a pungent smell all the time, no room service so we had to hunt down tea coffee milk toilet roll soap etc. A member of staff said the new owners, Britannia hotels, look them up, halved staff hence the closure of the bars and slow and short meal times. We've been here before and enjoyed drinking eating etc at the hotel but if that's what a golf society wants, and on the whole you do, you will be disappointed.

Despite seeing some bad reviews I had no bad experiences at all. The whole hotel was fine, food great, and the staff were brilliant. The two main bar staff Louise and Lauren were exceptional very helpful and always with a smile and chatty. The restaurant staff were always cheerful too, despite being understaffed nothing took too long. Onto the golf course, this was probably the best course we’ve played on our weekend trips away. Overall everyone in our party, 6 couples, said that we’d certainly go back.

We recently stayed for a Sunday Driver, the course is in good condition and was a good challenge, however, the hotel restaurant was chaotic. Having booked a table for dinner at 8 pm we were finally served our starter at 8.55, we did receive an apology. The food was good when it arrived however the cheese board was disappointing as it contained "Babybel" which is very inexpensive. The staff tried their best but could do with more training. Breakfast was poor, with most things running out at the same time, coffee, bacon eggs, etc. After reporting to the staff that more was needed it took 15 minutes before it arrived. Conclusion, good course shame about the hotel.

Nowhere in hotel or golf clubhouse to buy lunch. Dinner only available on Sunday 15th, though we had paid for 3 dinners. Rooms not made up during stay. Disgrace for a hotel of this type.

Room fine, queued to check in, lack of feeling welcome, lots of signs re mask wearing etc but it was not being enforced any where in the hotel. Restaurant a bit tired, dinner okay but not brilliant. No ice cream. Tried to add a supplement of £5 for cheese when it was not shown on the menu and also tried to overcharge for a glass of wine although this was eventually corrected. Breakfast chaotic too many people trying to use a poorly laid outbuffet, lack of small plates, many hot item not refreshed, most people not wearing masks or distancing. It is a shame the quality of the hotel is not as good as the clubhouse and golf shop. Staff in Pro shop were good as well.

As this is no longer a Marriott hotel it has gone downhill dramatically. The organisation was a shambles with no sign of any management to sort it out. Instead it was left to young inexperienced staff who could not really be blamed.We have been twice before when it was under previous ownership but would definitely not go again.

Overall the hotel and rooms were great, especially at the price paid. The only negative was that the restaurant was fully booked on the day (book the restaurant in advance to avoid this) and then getting a taxi was a slow process and with the new 10pm rules it wasnt worth going anywhere else. The hotel is a taxi ride from anywhere else. The hotel bar was very slow for drinks due to table service, but the staff were really helpful and did their best with new covid rules in place. Overall a great night away.

The room was actually very nice. It was large and well equipped with a spacious bathroom. Rated 1 star because of a mechanical noise which was at it's worse near the headboard of the bed. It was not our extractor fan/heating system/fridge. My family, who were staying, checked out and confirmed the noise existed (their room was the same without noise). It was a mechanical noise which in spite of us complaining was not dealt with in any way. Staff said that the hotel was old and had just changed hands and that a refurbishment was due in the next couple of years!! Do not allow yourself to be placed in room 107. You will not sleep!!!
