Excellent
Pros:

Excellent service provided by a team of great people who ouldn't have been more helpful. Well provided room with plenty of space. Exceptional golf course and location. Very good restaurant and breakfast.

Cons:

Charging £3 for range balls when between we paid £1,000's for rooms and golf green fees doesn't feel right and to our minds strikes the wrong tone and message.

Cons:

Das Frühstück besteht größtenteils aus Convinience Produkten. An der Rezeption ruft man uns kein Taxi, sondern das müssen wir selbst machen (man erreicht hier kaum ein Taxi. Wir mussten 3 Firmen durchtelefonieren). Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis hat insgesamt nicht gestimmt.
