I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the golf course and spa facilities were impressive and the staff was helpful, the dining options and breakfast quality really let it down. The location is beautiful, but the food pricing was excessive for the quality. Overall, it has potential but needs significant improvement in several areas.

Rooms

I found the rooms to be quite cozy, but there was a lot of noise from parties that continued late into the night.
Service

The service was friendly, but the staff seemed understaffed, particularly in the bar area, which affected the overall experience.

The hotel is set in a lovely rural area with great grounds, but it can be difficult to venture into town after dark.

Dining was disappointing; dinner options were overpriced and lacked quality, and breakfast was far below expectations.

I stayed for one night at this hotel, and while my room was spacious and I had a comfortable bed, the overall experience left much to be desired. The outdated decor with dirty carpets set an unpleasant tone, and the breakfast was quite poor in quality. The services in the restaurant and bar areas were incredibly slow due to apparent understaffing. However, the golf course was a highlight, and the spa, although a bit pricey, offered some decent treatments.

Rooms

I had a lovely spa break at this hotel, where the arrival was smooth and the room spacious and nice. The pool and treatment facilities were enjoyable, but the pricing for bar drinks was quite high. Breakfast options were disappointing, especially for vegetarians, and the hotel felt crowded at times, making it hard to relax fully. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but a few improvements would make it even better.

My experience at the hotel was pretty mixed. While I found the location stunning and the rooms spacious and clean, I was disappointed with the service and dining quality. The staff at breakfast were excellent, but overall, the service felt lacking. The hotel has great potential, but they need to pay more attention to details to match the beautiful surroundings.
