Staff great, food was outstanding. In general, price for value is good, great swimming pool. One negative, the hotel should invest in an electric barrier and only offer key to residents as the lazy golfers take the parking spaces. Of course this would be extra cost but would be worth it.

Excellent hotel and Spa. Staff were friendly and professional. Food was excellent. I had a back and neck massage by Jo which was superb. Beautiful clean room with a comfy double bed. Would visit again.

Played 18 and stayed in the hotel.
Rooms were spotless, swimming pool and amenities were exceptional. Food to a very high standard. It would be unfair to rate it lower than 5 star, but typical of a hotel, food and drinks were expensive. Especially past 11:00 you'd be looking at 17.50 for a double rum and coke.

Fantastic Hotel
Room was very spacious, clean, quite and extremely comfortable beds. They catered for my daughter with several allergies really well and gave us confidence to come back again. The pool and leisure facilities are first rate and the kids had a great time playing in the smaller and larger pools. Again the staff were polite, efficient and extremely efficient. I'd like to add that there was a wedding on in the main hall and we were a little worried about the noise, however we all slept very soundly and couldn't hear a thing. Thanks to the hotel and the staff, we had a great stay
