tender moments

amazing groundslovely staffhelpful service
the grounds felt amazing and offered an amazing recharge. the staff were so lovely upon arrival. it was nearly 32°c, and they got my little boy a fan and extension leads. anything we needed was no bother to them.
The bar area is narrow and small. It doesn't feel cosy.

a nice visit

beautiful golf courseseparate sitting roomefficient servicedated bathroom
The grounds feature walkways. a golf course provides beautiful scenery. we received an upgrade to the honeymoon suite. This suite included a separate sitting room. the staff provided very friendly and efficient service.
The bathrooms lack mobile shower heads, showering was awkward. there were overhead rain showerheads above the bath and fixed mixer taps below. bathrooms was a bit dated.
