Hotel was like staying in a country manor. Service was wonderful and so was the food. Lots of fun activities, just wish it had not rained so we could have done more! We booked spa treatments instead which were very good. Definitely recommend.

Our stay was very disappointing and far from what you would expect from a 5-star property. The room was barely cleaned — apart from making the beds, no real effort was made, despite specifically mentioning that the bathroom had not been cleaned properly. The service throughout our stay was poor, and the staff were generally unfriendly. We were a group of four, yet only one small portion of strawberry jam was provided at breakfast. When my son politely asked for another, the waitress refused, saying they couldn’t give more, even though it was clearly available at other tables. The dinner menu was also very limited, particularly for children, with hardly any suitable options. Unfortunately, the overall experience was unsatisfactory in every aspect. The property simply does not live up to its 5-star rating.

Staff saved the day by being so nice and friendly. Very disappointing, I was not able to book a meal for the first night and they could not feed us with very few guests. Check -in was a marathon. Food was limited, same menu for 4 days, average and over priced. Cleanliness was not great and the place needs a major overhaul and refurbishment. No golf course and grounds have been neglected, nothing like the photo. It is clearly trading and relying on its past glory. An experience not to be repeated.
