Fantastic Hotel with Spacious Rooms!

large bedflat screen tvtea serviceclean towels

The room was a Club Double or Twin Room, very roomy, and had a large bed. There was even a second bed if I needed it! The flat screen TV and complementary tea and coffee were very welcome. I appreciated the supply of biscuits. The bathroom had clean towels, soap, and shampoo.

The sports bar tables weren't always cleaned as quickly as I expected, with cutlery occasionally left on the floor.

The staff were always there to help, offering enthusiastic advice and support. They were responsive throughout the planning process and kept us up to date with any changes. Staff in the restaurant were very attentive and good at their jobs.

The shower was superb with great water pressure. The swimming pool had ample towels, which you can just help yourself to. There is a superb golf course and offers of a chance for non-members to play. a driving range.

Food and drinks were excellent and piping hot!!! The sports bar food was good value for money. I was even catered for with my egg intolerance, very rare. The breakfast was really good too.

Location

The hotel is in a wonderful setting. It was the ideal location for my stay because it was a short distance from the A12. It is a beautiful location with fabulous grounds and lots of seating areas around the hotel.
