Lovely
Pros:

The breakfast was gorgeous and so was the dinner. Staff were very friendly. lovely clean hotel.

Cons:

The location was a little too far out. and we were able to get a taxi out to a nearby town for a drink but we couldn't get home due to the one hotel taxi being too busy. we weren't from the area so didn't know which taxi services to call. Delaney's Taxi services saved us and picked us up and brought us back to the hotel. I would highly recommend them.

Self care, my way
Pros:

My favourite hotel. Delicious food, comfortable beds and fantastic staff. I loved every minute of my stay. The hotel is so relaxing. I can just park my car, check in to my room and not leave again until I'm checking out. I was able to sit outside reading my book or in the bar with a drink. Plenty choices for breakfast from a fry to eggs benedict to pancakes or kippers. Even the continental section was delicious with fruit, cheese, cold meats and pastries. Lunch is served daily from 12 and food is served until 9pm at night. I didn't use the pool this time but it is always immaculate when I previously used it on past trips. I'm already looking forward to going back again. It is honestly my favourite hotel.

Cons:

Having to check out

More attention in all areas could make it a Great hotel
Pros:

It’s a great location, good golf club

Cons:

It’s needs to be refurbished to be a 4* hotel, there is an over reliance on very young staff, unfair .
There was blood on the duvet in our room and had to be replaced, food is not up to 4* quality.. such a pity as potential to be great..
