Xmas Day lunch was great food, and good service, although the orders for wine didn't seem to be organised at all. We had to flag down a passing waitress!

Played golf here. Was an interesting course. We played in the winter months so the tee boxes were replaced with artificial mats. I wasnt a fan of this as the location of the temporary tees, were not ideal and in some instances quite a few yards away from the original tee boxes. I would play here again but not in the winter months.

Lovely place to stay. The rooms were quite small but clean and functional and perfectly adequate. Lovely bar area and great bar staff. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Freshly cooked and really hot. Would have no hesitation in staying here again.
