i liked the friendly staff. they were always smiling and ready to assist. breakfast was great. i also enjoyed the restaurant for dinner. golf courses and practice facilities were fantastic.
i had to request housekeeping twice. it was once at 4.20pm, then again at 5.50pm as my room hadn't been serviced. i also had to request more tea and coffee items as this hadn't been replenished either. as this was october week the hotel was very busy and i couldn't get a table for bar service. we just didn't know it was october week.

Excellent Hotel with Great Amenities

modern roomspacious roomcomfortable beddingfriendly staff
The room was modern and spacious, offering both artificial and natural light. I found the king-size bed comfortable with soft, warm bedding. The hotel has many sporting facilities including golf, and leisure amenities plus a very nice spa. Staff were consistently friendly and helpful, always offering assistance without being asked. This really enhanced the experience.
I noticed my room wasn't perfectly clean, with some dust visible on surfaces. This was a slight letdown considering the hotel's high standards.
