Terrible never going back or recommending. Staff did not want to know the next dsy
Pros:

The stay was a disaster a golfing group of men kept us up for a couple of hours playing football in the corridor. Messing with fire extinguishers and playing loud music. No staff were on site to deal with this. It spoilt our stay. We have requested a refund

Cons:

Nice place and staff all good. But management of the facility is confused and very disappointing.
Pros:

Nice location and nice room.

Cons:

Air con only controlled by reception despite frequent requests to say the room control not working.
Breakfast finishes at 10.30. Paid for breakfast at reception at 10.00. Then found continental breakfast was just jam and butter, no croissant pasties left at all. then told that they would not be replenished.
Total confusion over restaurants. Were told that lounge in hotel was closed. But Terrace menu and Fairway Restaurant were available in the clubhouse. Walked to clubhouse and then told that the only menu was the terrace menu (very limited) and was in the bar area. Also told that the bar area was the Fairway Restaurant but not using that menu.
Then booked a meal in Kingsclere. Only to find that when we walked back to the hotel building the Fairway Restaurant was in fact open due to a "booking".

Pros:

Superb location, nestling amongst 3x9 hole golf courses, in beautiful typically English countryside; with pheasants and wild geese feeding peacefully right outside both the hotel & golf club restaurant windows.

Cons:

Dining at night in the golf club restaurant, the food was excellent; (but the drinks pricey). However, the breakfast in the hotel was distinctly disappointing for this standard of hotel.

Pleasant staff, nice room and bathroom, A/C needs addressing
Pros:

Staff were friendly and the room and bathroom were lovely and presented well

Cons:

The air conditioning wasn’t good enough, not really modern enough and certainly a distinct lack of cooling, which was the main reason I chose this hotel

Air con not working, ridiculous cost for average breakfast, looks and feels like a care home
Pros:

Spacious room

Cons:

Air conditioning did not work and we had only booked this hotel for that single purpose due to a health condition made worse by heat.
£24.95 for an average breakfast is not acceptable.
