Solid Golf and Spa Getaway

large bedadditional bedfood menu
I stayed for four nights. My room featured a large bed with an additional bed if needed. The room included a tv with coffee and tea making facilities, including biscuits. The golf course on the grounds provided an opportunity for non-members to play. It also had a driving range where I could purchase a bucket of balls.
The limited food menu was disappointing. The tables at the sports bar were not cleaned regularly, and I saw cutlery left on the floor. The breakfast buffet had dried-out food, not appealing (I think fresh cooking would be better).
Service

The staff were cute and politewith a positive first impression. I noticed necessary upgrades happening . The reception helped me upgrade to a twin double beautiful room after I experienced low water pressure.
Rooms

My triple room was spacious and clean. The hotel has rooms that are being refurbished to upgrade their facilities. I had a twin double beautiful room after an upgrade.

Breakfast offered good quality options, and the sports bar dinner was satisfying. The festive decorations gave the bar a cute feel. The log fire in the bar was especially relaxing (I really enjoyed the atmosphere).

breakfast qualityspa entrance
The breakfast quality was disappointing. The full english tasted reheated and dry. spa entrance looked worn, and the changing rooms could use a refresh and better upkeep. also, many lockers were not working. a group of teenage boys acted up in the pool, and staff did not step in to stop them even after other guests complained
