    Very nice place, good food, great staff.

    • Deluxe Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Room was very hot with little to no ventilation/air circulation. Room temp was in the high 20's when we arrived, left windows open and it didn't drop to a comfortable level to sleep until the early hours of the morning. It wasn't a sunny day and overnight outside temps were 13ºC so it wasn't a heatwave. Building had a strange layout and felt poorly designed for communal areas. When descending the stairs the fire escape was very close to the end of the stairs with a big sign on saying £250 fine for opening when not an emergency, however i can easily see someone taking the stairs too quick downwards and accidentally opening it. On first floor the stairs overhang the walkway and easy to bang your head on. Fine for us as we weren't having a late night, but if you've had a few tipples in the bar i can easily see someone walking into this.

    Loved the quality and choice of food. Stayed as a family so needed an early evening casual meal, the sports bar was perfect for that. Order at the bar and was advised how long it would take, food arrived within that timescale. Ice cream and waffle parlour was lovely, visited late afternoon (it shuts at 5pm). Breakfast is served in the posh restaurant, buffet style. Everything was lovely, freshly cooked and replenished. Staff throughout very helpful. I had added a fun request at time of booking for the 'towels to be shaped into an animal' which housekeeping did with great skill and much to the joy of our son.

    We all had very little sleep the first night as other guests congretated directly outside our rooms (ground floor apartment) for a cigarette a number of times between midnight and 3 am. I put pre booking on my card but we were unable to use this for the sports bar, Oties or for the drinks we had in the restaurant. I had pre booked the restaurant but this had not registered for some reason and it took some time to get this sorted out.

    The apartment was very nice and had everything we needed. Food in the Sports bar and the restaurant was very nice and child friendly. The spa treatments were excellent and the kids enjoyed the pool/

    Apartments could be a little cosier, they are basically decorated so not particularly homely. Other than that, very happy.

    We stayed in a 2 bed apartment overlooking the golf course- really spacious, great kitchen and large fridge, very comfortable beds, light and airy with great views. Easy close parking, lift access - brilliant choice!

    I had previously contacted the hotel to see if any special arrangements could be made as it was husband’s 40th birthday, to which I received a swift response saying that they would see what they could do. I was disappointed by what we did receive which was 4 celebration chocolates and a generic card. Whilst I understand nothing needed to be done, I would have hoped for a little more of an effort considering the price of the stay. Also we were at the hotel for breakfast and dinner. Whilst the quality of breakfast was good I do think it was very pricey at £30 a couple. The evening meal was very disappointing. My husbands soup was served cold, my main was missing ingredients and the dessert was grainy and poor quality (custard tart) the waitress did remove the desserts off the bill which was appreciated but considering how much the main meal alone was costing, I do not feel it was very good value at all. Also the dining room was not very atmospheric for an evening meal. It has all these lovely large diffused lights but instead all the bright spot lights were on meaning any atmosphere was just removed and didn’t feel special at all.

    Quality of breakfast was nice and decor for breakfast dining was nice. Decor of the hotel was eclectic annd interesting and facilities available like the gym were excelled. Apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious. It had all essential items including with in the kitchen. Staff especially at the gym were very helpful and pleasant. Contact with hotel was always swift and helpful and I couldn’t fault the staff, they were very attentive.

    The selection of wines was limited. The Sports bar was at times understaffed and the wait times were longer then they should have been. The team did their best but it was clear they were at least one person short.
