RIP off

Charged me £12 for a bowl of Rice Krispies and a coffee. Extortionate. And the rest of the stay was nothing to write home about.

Nice weekend stay. Would recommend

Lovely hotel, great location. Large rooms and friendly staff. Free Wifi but did tend to drop out now and again My only negative is that even though good selection of breakfast food, the hot buffet was cold, luke warm at best

This hotel is unloved, relying entirely on the draw of the golf course. The rooms are basic and tired, the food was unimaginative and canteen like. it's really poor all round

Beautiful location. Clean. Decor a bit tired. Comfortable bed. Very big hotel - long walk to rooms. Restaurant can't cope with number of guests and no other options nearby. Breakfast good if go early, but selection hugely reduced after 1 hour and food left to go cold and dry. Only 2 disabled bays and still far from entrance.

Woken up by rude noisy cleaners and when I questioned them about why they were making so much noise the guy asked what my problem was and what did I want him to do about it! When I came out of the room to check out the lady cleaner who was working with the guy did apologize. I informed the receptionist who was really shocked and said she would get someone to ring me today but I've had no one call. Absolutely awful behavior and terrible customer service as no follow up call. Extremely disappointed as I would never expect to hear that level of noise before ,9am doors slamming, crashing and bashing with equipment and talking so loudly and then to be spoken to in that manner when they were questioned. To add insult to injury to have no follow up call although the receptionist said she would get a manager to call me. Awful to say the least

The spa and pool could do with a once over and a bit more cleanliness. The towels are old . Glasses left from afternoon to next morning outside a room in the corridor we passed a few times .
