Birthday Celebration
Excellent service from welcoming staff to receptionist to house keeping. The room was very high standard overlooking the golf course. In club house I would certainly recommend the food as this was a birthday celebration - I could not fault the service.

Avoid at all costs!
I’d give this 3 stars at most. Beautiful grounds, but that’s about it. Pillows smelt like neck sweat and were very uncomfortable, asked for a firmer pillow and they just put another pillow in the pillow I already had. Dirty bathroom , hairs and crime in the corners , clearly not been cleaned properly for a very long time. Disgusting for the price you pay. Breakfast was very nice, we were looked after my Poshan, such an amazing and attentive lady, Poshan was the highlight of our stay. Bar service was very poor and stupidly expensive. We were also charged for 2 drinks we didn’t even order, again poor as the staff should have checked room number as someone clearly put 2 drinks on our room. I informed reception and they cleared this off our bill. I’d avoid at all costs , girls rip off , over £1200 for 3 nights!
