Well appointed rooms with a very helpful desk staff although the wifi is a bit unreliable and comes and goes. The breakfast is some what disappointing with a limited choice and rather cheap quality products.

Many thanks for leaving a review of your stay. I am pleased that your golf weekend went so well and in particular that your enjoyed the food. Our Pro has been with us for a number of years now and what he doesn’t know about golf probably isn’t worth knowing! Come back and visit us again soon. More

First thing to mention is the staff: collectively, they're a great bunch. Unfailingly courteous, cheerful and efficient, everyone we encountered made us feel really welcome and wanted. The beds were comfortable - firm enough but not too hard. However, sleep was spoiled by the inclusion of a plastic mattress protector which meant we tossed and turned in our own perspiration... More

Stayed over the weekend on a golfing trip. Rooms are rated as 3 star but good 2 star is probably a fairer assessment, bedrooms are clean and comfortable though a bit bland, but very clean and warm so that balances things up. Staff are helpful and friendly, food is reasonable, drinks prices a touch high for the area, overall a... More

The Staff tried to make me welcome, but the bedroom was probably the coldest I have ever stayed in. It is disconcerting to enter corridors on the way to the bedroom and then have to wait for the lighting to initialise itself.The bathroom was dirty with black tile grouting and a non-functioning extractor fan. An extra large can of room... More
