Had looked forward to a bit of luxury but very dissappointed
Pros:

Reception staff were lovely and helpful.Room was accessible and clean . The bed was comfortable, there was good hanging space, a safe, iron etc.

Cons:

The room was very poorly lit which made reading and drying my hair difficult.
Using the pool etc there was no provision of slippers or foot coverings.
The pool was accessed via shallow steps which at 5ft 4 even I had to bend very low to reach. The disabled changing only had a low plastic seat with no arms and no grab rails except for the toilet.
Breakfast- waited 5 mins to be seated. Waited so long to be offered tea/coffee I gave up. I had virtually finished my very tepid food by the time I got it but that was lukewarm too so I made fresh in my room.
Overall a very disappointing stay which is sad as my friends and I had earmarked it for a 2 night stay in July but we will now try elsewhere.

Great Place to stay, fantastic staff
Pros:

Welcoming staff, friendly and helpful. The young lady on reception was bubbly, smiley and nothing was too much trouble. We went straight to dinner as we had arrived late and Joe looked after us. He was superb, really friendly, really personable, very attentive, great personality and a real credit to the hotel and company, food was 1st class. The room was lovely, spacious and clean. Comfortable bed and a decent power shower. Wifi is free and you don't have to sign in. Plenty of parking, lovely grounds and great facilities, although we don't play golf. Price was pretty good for two of us and included breakfast which was traditional and/or continental and self service, delicious! Give it a go, you wont be disappointed.....

Cons:

Golfers, but we just avoided them ;-)

A pleasant place to stay
Pros:

The hotel is comfortable and relaxed. The pool is nice and a good temperature. I loved the big bath in our room.
Staff were all friendly.

Cons:

We felt the restaurant was over priced for what we got. Not sure how you can justify charging £8 for 3 little pieces of bread. £24 for a small piece of salmon, and then the only green veg on the menu - broccoli, was unavailable. My husband had 3 courses, I had 1 course, a jug of water and the bill was over £100 !!!

The staff were very helpful.
The breakfast was good

Cons:

-Towels were changed but didn't clean sink or loo & left no toilet rolls for 4 days
-Didn't leave water in the room which should've been there as it was a deluxe room
-No hoovering for 4 days
-Quilt put into cover the wrong way and so we had to remake it
-Tucked in quilt but left pillows in a mess
-Kettle needed changing
-settee and chairs in room were grubby
-noise throughout the night from soft close mechanism which was supposed to be fixed but wasn't.

More Shabby and Less Chic!
Pros:

The views from our room were really lovely across the fairways. Similar view from the Grill Restaurant. The large bed was comfortable and the bathroom extremely spacious.

Cons:

We had no robes or slippers. The kettle needed descaling. Every time I put the bath mat over the bath there were small cut hairs in the bath... as if someone had had a hair cut. (They weren't pubic, I know because we run a guest house ourselves)!
There should be an option to pull across the expanse of patio doors, voiles, due to being on the ground floor because when we were changing or coming from the bathroom (without a robe), we needed to draw the curtains.
The decor is looking tired. The chairs in the Fairway Grill Restaurant look like they need reupholstering as they are dirty, worn and look shabby. The windows in the restaurant were dirty.
The bar area, although it is used as 19th hole, the sofa we sat on needed to be brushed of crumbs and was shabby.
I write this as its been a long time since I was there last, and I feel it didn't live up to the expectations I had from my last visit.
Formby Hall Resort and Spa should be of a high standard and it didn't live up to that for me.
Don't get me wrong, we really enjoyed our stay, but I did find fault. I mentioned to the Receptionist on checking out, if our room should have had Robes and Slippers, and she checked and said yes. I am sorry and I will pass this on! I don't think that is good enough!

Pros:

Absolutely loved the location and how pretty and green it was our golf room was in an amazing spot right above the 18th hole and seeing the wildlife completely free was amazing.
The 18 golf itself was amazing

Cons:

Unfortunately the bar staff manager was rude to customers when wanting service and told to sit down as it was table service only but then made customers wait at least 25 minutes for a drink unfortunately Im dairy free as I'm allergic I ordered a oat milk coffee when it arrived it was chocolate dust over it when telling the bar staff lady she commented on and I quote 'iv always done it and it hasn't killed anyone yet ' which I found very concerning and inappropriate.
The bedroom could have done with a revamp some of the cupboards were peeling and parts of the room/bathroom definitely needed maintenance for the price I paid.
Also on the last day we went to the range and the score boards didn't work at all while we were there
