I stayed at this hotel for two nights as a base for attending a wedding nearby.
Starting with the positives, the hotel grounds are lovely, the pool looks inviting, the gym is well-equipped with everything you could need, and the staff are friendly â but unfortunately, thatâs where the positives end.
I had booked a Super Deluxe room with breakfast for ÂŁ334 for two nights. While the room was spacious, as shown in the photos, it was far from Super Deluxe. There were holes in the wall and ceiling, mould around the shower, a vent clogged with dust, a non-functional TV, a safe with a missing battery cover, a bathtub panel coming away, and several insects present in the room. I understand that being near a golf course may lead to the occasional insect, but the windows were closed on arrival.
For a Super Deluxe room, the amenities were lacking â no bottled water (although water dispensers are available at end of some corridoors), no biscuits to accompany the coffee, and a real struggle to find a plug socket to charge your phone, with none located near the bed. Speaking of which, the bed consisted of two singles pushed together, leaving an uncomfortable gap in the middle.
The lounge/bar area is extremely dated. One plug socket even appeared to have experienced a fire at some point. There was generic music playing through tinny, buzzing speakers. I ordered a coffee and a scone; while service was prompt, only the top half of the scone was edible â the bottom half was completely raw.
