A lovely hotel on a golf course,we were also lucky as when we stayed there was a horse race meeting right across the road from the hotel.The staff at the hotel were some of the most helpful and friendly staff I have come across,going that extra mile.The room was big and comfortable,the food was very tasty,breakfast and evening meal.

Excellent Central Location.
The Hotel was in a very good location for our vacation, a central location. It was incredibly clean, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We really liked the pool too. We liked the excellent selection of food for Breakfast food too. We were very happy 😊 and content with our stay. Thanks very much for everything!! :)

It was okay but we chose this hotel for the pool and the hot tub. The hot tub was cold and when we went to go swimming there were at least 20 children getting swim lessons taking up the whole pool. The changing room was filled with children of both sexes and there was no privacy. These were for the second group going in. We will not stay here again. Hot tubs are supposed to be hot. We told them about it but they said that is how it is. Very disappointed.

Generally okay. Hot tub was cold (should be called a cold tub). Lota of unsupervised kids in the pool contrary to rules that were frankly annoying. Breakfast good. Staff pleasant and helpful.

I want to give it five stars but the bathtub was designed for giants. I was afraid to take a shower as stepping back down looked treacherous. Otherwise, I loved everything about the place. The decor was so modern. The food was excellent.

Disappointedly cold room in a supposed Junior Suit
The room was cold on arrival and heating didn’t come on until after 7pm. We had to borrow a fan heater with that dusty smell off it and the guy at reception said to turn it off if we left the room. What is he, our parent? The heating didn’t come on until after 9am the next morning. It has a temperature control but this hotel deliberately sets timers probably due to the energy costs. However I don’t like staying in a cold room and believe the room rate set should ensure a comfortable stay at a minimum. The food was pretty ordinary as well, packet chips with no taste and overly deep fried fish too crisp to enjoy.

Overall, it was okay. Would rate this place an excellent 3 Star Hotel - from what I experienced, I would not rate it a 4 Star.

The hotel had several open areas. Very clean all around. Breakfast was good. Restaurant service was very slow, but, they may have been under staffed as so many places are right now.

Showing its age a little, but great for golf, races, and easily accessed. Overall happy, if a bit overpriced for what we paid.

Avoid the Bar Food Restaurant.
Reception very efficient and friendly. Room was very pleasant. Restaurant let's the establishment down, action needs to be taken. My order was for a toasted cheese and onion sandwich. My partner's meal was served first, he had almost finished eating when mine was served to the table. Bread was toasted on one side only. I returned it and waited another 15 mins. This time it was still only toasted on one side and had ham in it. Returned it again and by this time my patience had run out and I left the Restaurant. The lady serving was either a Supervisor or Manager her long hair was very loosely tied back and so when she bent down to serve there was a lot of loose hair cascading, very off putting and un-hygenic. I would have thought a toasted sandwich would not be challenging for a Hotel Kitchen, I hate to imagine had it been a 7 course degustation/tasting menu. The young bar staff were very efficient and pleasant.
