The redevelopment of the downstairs area looks really well but it looks like they’ve taken their eye of the ball with the accommodation. The housekeeping standards seem to have slipped.

THE COMFIEST BED EVER
What a wonderful hotel. From the second we arrived to the moment we left everything was outstanding. Ryan was especially helpful and friendly. The beds are THE MOST COMFORTABLE beds ever. Having stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years with work I have to say we will definitely be coming back again.

Very modern looking facility both in & outside. Spacious lobby and lots of dining options. Stair & lift available; to access room floors, your room key card opened the lift doors and the door to access floor 2. Decor was suited to the golfing theme. Loved the very modern bathroom with heated floor. Room was cosy, too small for even a double bed, barely 2 feet on either side of the bed, 10x10 sq ft at most. Considering I had booked well in advance, I would have thought we would have gotten a better room, with better views (we got the back of the property and the top of the roof). Seems as if certain rooms may be reserved for Expedia users. Overall, average, not worth the hype or the cost.

Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Free transport into the habour in the evening as taxis are hard to get. The only thing I could fault is the heating/air-conditioning was very confusing and no instructions.

Great stay.
My husband and had a lovely break. The hotel room was spotless. The reception area was currently being renovated, when it is completed it will be more appealing. Good value for money.

On booking, the hotel website had no availability, but I was able to book through Expedia, at an extra cost. At check in I was told that because I had booked through a 3rd party website breakfast was not included and it would cost £10 extra per person, having already paid £140, and thought breakfast was included. I think that was a bit much

Best Food in Town! This hotel was cosy and homely. The food in the restaurant was excellent - huge servings and cheap - £17 for two courses. Staff were extra friendly. Room was a little small (Very narrow) and no desk/dressing table bathroom didn't have much space around the sink for storage etc. Overall a lovely hotel and worth a stay.

Lovely Modern Hotel
We have stayed here twice now in the last 4 months, overall I loved the hotel, it was comfy, cosy and had all you needed. The only problem was that the first night there was a drain/pipe above our room and it made a noise the whole night, the second night the fire alarm went off at nearly mid night for about 30 seconds and the room next door shouted and what sounded like moving furniture across a wooden floor for a good while after that. If it hasn't of been for these reasons it would have been 5/5

On arrival we got a lovely surprise in that we were upgraded to a suite. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant which was very good value and the staff could not have been nicer. After a very comfortable nights sleep we had a very enjoyable breakfast with the same great level of service

Awful Customer Service and NOT family friendly
This hotel is not family friendly at all. First morning at breakfast kids offered crunchy nut, special K or porridge as a cereal. We asked had they anything else the reply way “just what I told you”. Second morning we bought cereal and brought it with us. We spend the Friday night eating in the restaurant which was very nice and food was lovely. On the Saturday two of us and a 15 year old went down to the bar to get a drink whilst the girls got ready and watch the football which they had showing. When we arrived we were told to go to the public bar which we did to be told no under 18 allowed. We went back to reception and proceeded towards the library bar where the football was on TV and not one person in there. We were told it’s for donning only. We explained we only wanted a drink whilst the girls got ready and they were adamant we only allowed if we have food. We told them their public bar doesn’t allow under 18 to which the security guard said nothing he could do and we needed to order food as the tables are for the public and we said we are staying in the hotel. This security guy was rude and very authoritarian. My friend turned to his 15 year old son and said come on sun we will spend our money elsewhere. The security guard then said don’t need to take that attitude with me. We stopped at reception and asked to make a complaint and the poor reception girl looked confused and said she didn’t know about complaints and gave us a business card and email in to it.

Bit disappointing
Our room wasnt ready at 3 oclock for check in. The room itself was clean but tiny. There was very loud live music located in an entertainment marquee under our window on Saturday night until 11. Our room wasnt serviced during our stay. No clean towels , tea coffee replenished etc.

Too smart for its own good
The rooms was spacious and nicely furnished, there was a Nespresso machine with 4 capsules, tea and biscuits etc. Everything absolutely squeaky clean. What I didn't like was the noise coming from the air conditioning engines outside of the room window and the bathroom door with the glass insert that was letting the light come in at dawn: what is the point of having blinds on the window if there is light coming in through the bathroom door? And also, is it really necessary to have motion-activated lights in the bathroom? When I had to use the bathroom during the night I ended up waking up my partner because the light was coming in through the door and there was no way to switch it off. It all felt like a huge design flaw, too smart for its own good.
