My anniversary stay turned out to be quite frustrating due to hot water issues in the premier room. The staff seemed unprepared to handle the situation, resulting in multiple room changes without resolution. While the ambiance is nice and the hotel has excellent golfing facilities, the overall service and dining experience fell short of expectations, making it hard to recommend for a special occasion.

We had a memorable anniversary treat at this hotel, enjoying good value with a £50 food voucher and truly amazing food.

The hotel had a warm atmosphere that made our stay enjoyable, but unfortunately, our dining experience on another occasion left much to be desired, particularly with the poor quality of a carvery meal.
