6/10 Good

The hotel is in a beautiful location with fabulous grounds and a golf course. However, the hotel itself could do with a refurbishment, particularly the bedrooms, which looked very tired with frayed carpet in various areas. The room also had poor lighting; in fact, some parts of the bedroom had no lighting at all. All the staff were very professional and friendly. There is plenty of on-site parking, which is free—a definite plus. The hotel also has a spa, but unfortunately, I didn’t visit this time, so I can’t comment on it.

My wife and I stayed here as we were attending a wedding nearby. We arrived early and luckily our room was available for early check in. The reception staff was really helpful and even assisted with arranging transport to our venue. Our room was clean and spacious with very comfortable beds, with plenty of room utilities at hand. Bathroom also clean and spacious and toiletries provided. We booked breakfast which is buffet style with delicious food to suit all needs

2/10 Poor

SHOCKING

Very Disappointing Stay – Not a Relaxing Spa Break What was meant to be a peaceful overnight spa break turned into a frustrating experience. The pool was overrun with unsupervised, screaming kids throwing inflatables and even salt, making it impossible to relax. We weren’t given the grey dressing gowns others had — apparently, they’re only for guests having treatments or staying in better rooms, which felt unfair and discriminatory. The room was average, with no soap by the bath, dirty towels, and poor soundproofing. We barely slept due to people shouting outside our room until 2:30am. When reported, reception simply said “OK” with no apology or concern. Definitely not worth the money — we won’t be returning.

Go else where

Room very basic. Could do with a refurb, hotel is looking tired. Food and service not acceptable. Gave me an upgrade to a premium plus room and based on my stay I’m glad I didn’t witness a basic room. Food is below standard. Very disappointing.

Well we couldn’t have asked for more, the lady on reception was a delight, the manager too. We had a lovely clean and spacious room with such a comfortable bed. Eating in the bar was a great experience, the food was stunning. The lady serving in the bar could not have been nicer, great recommendations and service. Relaxing pool and sauna. The perfect stay, thank you!
